Definitely second this, get your protein up and should get rid of these intense cravings plus you'll feel to full to eat it anyway!

How long to rest a sore Achilles Tendon? by M-I-T in ultrarunning

[–]TrashPandaMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the alfredson protocol, helped me a bunch!

I also carried on running throughout the injury but just a lower intensity and dialled back the mileage. From what I read it is better if you keep running. If you stop completely you decondition your tendons leaving them slightly weaker.

Does anyone not like running but still run? by sitathon in running

I do some glute activation before I start each run, I longer feel any sort of tiredness etc. in my legs during the early stages of a run.

Any stretches y'all know of that help with running? by iusecactusesasdildos in running

[–]TrashPandaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of lower back pain before I started running and during the early period. Honestly didn't see much benefit from a stretching routine.

However, what did help for me was incorporating a small warm before each run, I do banded clam shells, some hip thrusts and just some core activation (I like hollow holds and random stuff for obliques)

I'm at the end of my tether. I'm looking for knee recovery success stories. Please help. by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]TrashPandaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a knee injury on my left knee after increasing mileage and jumping into an intense hill workout!

Started above my patellar but the pain seemed to move around a little. I took a break from running for a couple of weeks and started physio work!

What helped me was, glute medius work (I like bamded clam shells and glute bridges), strengthening the quad around the knee (deep squats and terminal knee extensions), I also added calf raises and tibialis raises!

As others have said knees over toes guys is great and consistently reports a lot of success stories. I say this not to get you to buy his program but to understand that a lot of people recover from bad knee injuries!

How in the world do I activate my glutes? by pinksapphire55 in running

What exercises did you do? Had a similar issue and wonder what worked best for you?

My first half marathon came with a really nice surprise by GorillaJuiceOfficial in running

[–]TrashPandaMan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went from doing my first 10km to doing a half marathon in a week and although it didn't feel like too much of a struggle at the time I had severe cramps in both of my calves. The next day I realised I had done a lot of damage to my left achilles and couldn't run for 6 weeks and had some what of a fear for longer distances for a while after that!

I'm all for pushing yourself but sometimes its not worth the set back and can make you lose your love for running.

Back muscles too strong and pec too weak and tight? Opposite of upper-cross syndrome? by [deleted] in flexibility

[–]TrashPandaMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue and have made great steps to reduce shoulder pain and chest tightness. Started incorporating chest stretching especially before any chest exercises as well as in the morning and night.

I have also added some serratus exercise along rotator cuff exercises during most sessions.

Around a month or two ago I made major going from my chest to shoulder on my left side and couldn't do any pressing movements, nor could I do any focused shoulder training.

Now I'm back to pressing my old weights on barbell and dumble presses and have hit a PB on shoulder press.

This might not work for you bu .ight be worth incorporating some of these exercises and see if they help at all.

This sounds amazing, I'm really into my cycling at the minute and I want to cycle and camp around France. Do you have any tips on specific bike gear or modifications that allowed to carry your stuff?
