As much as I am loathe to admit it, I am definitely injured, which means
my current training consists of working out on elliptical machines at
Planet Fitness in Dover and Portsmouth.
.
It all started three days before my 50-miler when I felt a sharp pain in
my right knee while trail running in Stowe, Vt. I knew I was compromised,
but I was not going to let anything get between me and that 50-miler. In
retrospect, this was not the greatest move. Apparently and I am poking
fun at myself now it is not a good idea to run 1 mile (let alone 50!)
while favoring one leg, because it places undue weight on the other leg,
which in turn ...; you get the idea.
.
In experiencing this injury, which I find extremely humbling, I have given
some thought as to what general advice might exist that perhaps could have
prevented it. In talking with local runners about their injury
experiences, several mentioned Access Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics.
.
In the hopes they would share some information I could consequently pass
on to others through this column, I decided to contact them and am very
happy I did.
.
Dr. Kevin D. Heaton, whose specialty is non-operative sports medicine, was
my point of contact, and he provided me with several bits of useful advice
specifically geared for runners.
.
How to prevent injuries
.
1. Engage in a proper warm-up routine, including dynamic stretching
exercises.
.
2. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your running regimen,
which means
.
do not increase your weekly mileage more rapidly than 10 percent.
.
3. You should cross train with exercises like aqua running, biking, or
elliptical training.
