[...] running. I kinda tweaked my hip a couple weeks back (see, there’s that injury thing), so I use a bike “workaround” until the hip resolves. I’m doing a brief warm-up and then going full tilt at top rpms and top [...]

How timely…… I’m three days into enduring a herniated disc which has paralyzed my foot and made my lower leg numb. I went from running intense sprints, dropping 3-4 pounds per week, to hobbling around with the aid of a ‘walker’ and being high on morphine just to keep it bearable. I am on the verge of depression. I truly am addicted to the post-workout endorphins and am going through serious withdrawal. Wwwaaaaaahh!
And I was all geared up and on track to meet my final fitness goal by my birthday this spring.

Ultimately, I know I’ll be fine, but I am struggling right now. Your encouraging words and suggestions are what I needed. I think I’ll re-read the post and look forward to getting back into action…someday….sigh…

A timely post from my perspective! I am just a week “post-op” for a ruptured quadracep tendon. A seemingly minor slip on the ice on a Christmas ski week, and there I was…doing “snow-angels” waiting for the ambulance!
Apparently the rehab for this type of injury is really long, due to the lack of vascularity in the tendon. This is really devastating for me as it happens that I have recently lost over 30lbs and was within striking range of my goal weight. Fortunately, I have hope that the PB behaviours that I have recently adopted will sustain me through this.
As you know, Mark, from the old days in LG, I am an endurance “junkie”. I want to ride double centuries this summer, and fully intend to meet that goal…… using smarter PB type high intensity interval work rather than chronic cardio madness!!!
Anyway, Ill hop on my crutches and hop into a big salad!

Serious or permanent injury may not have been a death sentence for Grok. Shanidar I (a Neanderthal, not one of our direct ancestors) managed to live a long life, in spite of suffering some serious trauma. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanidar#Shanidar_1

Trust me, something you DO NOT want is to ingrain your muscle imbalances resulting from or causing injury.

Injury + haphazard strength training = chronic pain.
Working unilaterally is poor advice in most cases dealing with injury or pain IMO.
Ever hurt your ankle and a few weeks later your back hurts?

If you injure one side, work the other. It has been known to save the muscle and strength on the opposite side.
