Thank you.Blessed art they who have never had a migraine.
I've not had many, but they are a new level of pain.
Feel better.
30 min of ST back and legs. Had a migraine so bad felt really bad. Left after only doing less than half my workout. Got home and started dry heaving the migraine got so bad. Was trying not to take any pain killers because of my doc apt today, but that didn't workout and I had to take something. After laying on the couch for the last hour I am finally able to sit up without feeling like I am going to blackout. Wow that sucked.
Awesome!!! I didn't see anything about elevation, are there a lot big climbs? How long do you expect to need?
Wow, I'm just really impressed here... and a little envious? Nah!
Must be all those "no shoes, no shirt, no service" signs that they used to have everywhere.I guess the whole "you should put on some shoes" thing is an American sentiment..

Rest day for swimming. Trying to minimize TMTS.
I read Dicharry's Anatomy for Runners last night. Nice book. Posted my thoughts about the book in the Optimal strength training for runners thread.
Went through some of the exercises from the book this morning. Found some areas for improvement. Dicharry not only talks about resting but also strengthening. So, I'm going to hold off on running, so I can put my energy into swimming. Hoever, I'm going to work on those exercises in Dicharry's book until I feel proficient with them. Hopefully, when I hit the trail again, it'll be more fun because my body will be better balanced.
Wait, I thought that swimmers were supposed to use the big muscles, like the lats, to prevent swimmer's shoulder. Maybe happysongbird can clarify.I've been getting very sore in my whole upper body and shoulders from the swimming, and my instructor last night was telling me I wasn't using my shoulders enough.
YIKES!!!! Big mean dog without proper supervision, I take it?
If by shoulders, the instructor mean lats, then that would be what I have come to understand and do. You sort of learn to move your arms from that point. Part of the soreness can just be from building muscle. Part can be from using the wrong muscles, ones that aren't really big enough or aren't connected from a location that does that movement effectively; often the problem can be not relaxing the arm between strokes enough. When the arm is up out of the water, elbow leading, finger tips "dragging", the arm should be relaxed while the back moves it. And I think we will call this your Swimming Tip of the Day!Wait, I thought that swimmers were supposed to use the big muscles, like the lats, to prevent swimmer's shoulder.

The book doesn't really cover training, but it's more about functional anatomy. It gives an example of a runner who gets an injury, rests, heals, but gets reinjured due to anatomical weaknesses. He provides exercises to identify and target weak areas.I'll probably grab the book, but in the meantime, what does it say about the amount of time you should spend resting? Would a couple of days be beneficial, or are we talking about taking the occasional week off?
