    THR Long daily walks : good or bad ?

    Merry Christmas !!! To answer your question about staying in the library : yes,I could do that,but it is a little complicated. In Brasov there are two libraries : the county one (the biggest,with the largest collection of books and the college library,which is much smaller). Unfortunately,I...

    THR Long daily walks : good or bad ?

    Hello,it's been a long time since I posted here. I've been quite busy as I started college and I put all my energy in attending all classes. It sounds easy but it's not because I live in Predeal and the college is in Brasov (25km away) so I commute every day or even twice a day,for example when...

    THR Long daily walks : good or bad ?

    Hello.I'm back with updates. I've been busy the last week,because I helped a friend of mine to organize a MTB race in the city I live in. That meant setting up the race course (40 km/25 miles),cleaning the trails of dead trees and branches,building little bridges over water and ,of...

    Be strong ! You can do it ! I'm glad I lifted your spirit as others here lifted mine. It is a very good thing that you are physically fit (from what I understand),because the muscles you have will help speed up your recovery. Be very careful of falling. All kinds of falling : tripping,a stair...

    In my last post I wanted to say : " I'll do a short and relatively easy RACE" but I didn't type "race" anymore. So,last week-end, I went to Baile Tusnad for a short and easy MTB race(28km/17miles and 700m/2300 feet elevation gain) . I felt great,the race was well organized and the weather was...

    I am not only resting but also doing recovery workouts. That means between 30 minutes and 2 hours of maximum 70% of maxHR. If everything works well,this Sunday I'll do a short and relatively easy (28km/17miles and 700m/2300 feet elevation gain). I'm not doing any plans yet,because the last time...

    It is not only the heart rate monitor (Suunto T6d) that does the work. Also,the software (Firstbeat) does the calculation. The watch collects the data and the software analyze it. So,one can't do without the other. The recovery analyze it is based on the R-R interval,or better say : the heart...

    First of all : the pain is almost gone! The massage is definitely working. Thank very much for your help! Second: It seems I am over trained. My first alarm signal was the pain I was talking about (above my right knee). The second sign was a general fatigue and lack of power in my legs (when...

    I have an update about my sharp pain. Sometimes is better,sometimes is worse,but the massage is definitely working.One time it was so worse that I was actually limping was after a swimming session. I usually don't swim because I don't have a pool nearby and I don't really like it too much. I...

    Thank you very much for this ! The line of the ilio-tibial band is exactly where it hurts. Starting just above the knee (very little pain there) and going up to about 15-18 cm (6-7 inches) where I have the sharp,deep pain . I'll try the massage and I'll use a bag of frozen vegetables as ice :)...

    Thank you Sandy,I've got your emails. Very nice and detailed pictures ! My pain is about 15 cm above the right knee,on the outer part of my leg. It is a deep,sharp pain,but it seems to have no origin point. I can't put the finger on a spot and say : this is where the pain starts. As I said,I...

    THR Long daily walks : good or bad ?

    Unfortunately I didn't go today to the mtb race I wanted to. The reason is not the weather,but a sharp pain in my muscle above my right knee. I canceled a few days ago my registration to the race and the hotel reservation,as I supposed to go a day before and spend one night there. This annoying...

    Thank you. About the 19th of August race : I keep a close eye on the weather forecast because if it's raining only in the race day it's not such a problem,but if it rains 2-3 days before AND during the race, I'll think twice about participating. The problem is mud. It might seems strange that a...
