Some lower extremity pain has me resting, icing, compressing, and ...I'm not really elevating. Soleus I think. Dam snowshoeing! I've talked to Mr. 300Km week, and gotten some ideas to speed up recovery, but I'd love to open up the floor to everyone's special remedies.
I think it'll be an informative conversation for everyone to share their recovery and repair secrets. So...WHAT DO YOU DO?
i recommend hill repeats on a steep hill with snowshoes ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for that advice, Mr. C. No offense, but I'm gonna' hold out to see what other people say.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Coo, cept to step it up you should do the repeats on a steep snowless slope with your snowshoes on, then you'll know you're hardcore!

This really helps. So more hills + more snowshoeing + less snow = more hard core. Got it!
ReplyDeleteHardcore = more hills + snow covered mountains + no headlamp + no snowshoes = Coo.
ReplyDeleteAs for your soleus.. depending on the exact injury, the ice/rest combo should straighten out most overuse strain type setbacks - rest usually being key.
Oh and at the risk of sounding like a hippy, dont underestimate the power of positive thinking.
pink compression socks, ice, entourage and beer....
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. What exactly will I be compressing with the pink compression sock? I like your recovery style, Katie. I hope it's working for you...seriously.
