He mentioned that your a hardcore/runner blogger and I should check out your page for updates on running events. I came across your blog and how your injury affected you and running. I can imagine how frustrating it is to get injured. I too was injured not once but twice on both knees with an ACL tear. Yeah, cross training and "other" activities help you recover from injuries and keep you busy. But you always seem to look for that activity that you got so much "love" and passion for. In my case, I love playing basketball. No, I am not a pro athlete or anywhere near it but I play the game as much as I possible can. It takes around an average of 6 to 8 months to get back to regular sporting activities with an ACL reconstructive surgery. It took me that much time away from "my love" on my 1st tear. On the 2nd time it happened, I was devastated and vowed that I will get back better, faster and stronger despite the injury. I was looking for other ways to hasten the healing time and came across hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). A good doctor friend of mine recommended it and I went in for a couple of weeks. It really helped a lot and was able to get back to activiites on the 5th month. Now, Im back with my love! :) I believe that there are others like us, who have true passion for sports (despite not being pro), and want to recover quicker.This inspired me to put our very own hyperbaric oxygen therapy clinic at Festival Mall at Alabang. If you have the time, come drop by the clinic (HBOT, Inc 3rd flr. Festival Supermall) and try it out and maybe I can also get tips on running :) Hi, im just about to get into running and was referred to your website by my friend in Alabang.

It was good because the workout was always intense and the coach tailored it to the big races we had during the year with options for easier workouts for those recovering or not racing. It's also great for the interval training without the pounding. Make sure you are spinning at a high cadence, 90+, unless the workout is simulating a hill climb - easier on your knees. Also if your quads are too sore after every workout then you are like me, a masher. Means you like to mash those gears, you put a lot of strength on the downstroke. Try to keep an even pressure on the pedal throughout the whole revolution. I've gotten better over the years but I still mash.

December of last year I got injured; I had achilles tendinitis and inflammation under my big left toe. It was because of using the wrong shoe. In that 1 month when I was injured, I was only doing stationary bike or attending spinning classes thrice a week. I think it did help. I felt my legs getting stronger. When I ran again, I felt that my legs and ankles held better than i exected. I was still huffing and puffing but it seems that the leg endurance was still there. Since then, I have always incorporated this for my cross-training. <em>Thanks flatfoot runner from a fellow flat foot :)</em> I can attest to this personally.
