Cheers mate. Quite sore in the hips and knees at the moment.. even from treadmill running. Ive had three knee reconstructions so I need to train smart and stretch heaps! Have got myself in a good head space and routine to train now though. Have been recording all eating and fluids for the last month. Im now consistently grazing on 4-5 smaller meals, have cut out most of the crap and am drinking shedloads of H20. -
I was going to say you're looking pretty good RB!!<br />
<br />
Whoa, 3 reconstructions!? I think a softly softly approach is a good idea in light of that. Building up leg strength and stretching will really help you protect your knees. Have you splashed out on decent runners? I just got a new pair and was really pleased with how many options there were for hobbit feeted people such as myself. Have you tweaked your running style to avoid a heel strike? that should make a big difference in terms of impact on your legs. -

I dont run on roads or concrete anymore. So its just grass or gravel trails and dirt tracks for me now. I actually want to run barefoot (or maybe purchase a pair of Vibrams) for summer. I'm sticking to the treadmill for another month which is okay on the joints before I head out onto grass. I have two fifths of fuck all cartilege left in my right knee and the discs in my lower back are tighter than a ducks arse! So yeah improving my overall flexibility and prehabbing is going to be a huge ongoing work on. -

RB, I think an arthritc Gorilla would be more graceful than even a 20 year old RB...<br />

Just being to be compared to an athritic gorilla is the ultimate compliment for me!!!! -

Rad. I'm using Vibrams for all my running, most of which is on concrete so I have to keep running style in as a consideration - no heel striking! Once the weather clears up and you can get back out on the grass, get some sprint training in if the knees will allow it. Help with the line speed and explosive power, and I plan to do some more once daylight savings kicks in.

Slacker! Make sure you send a photo when it finally turns up - if it hasn't fallen apart from old age <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />
