Gold! - Only a medico would put his pictures on. Do you have the video as well?
We could make an evening of it.
I figure if you were home by 11:30 you went for the GA. I hope everything else goes as smoothly, but for now take it easy.
Epi,
Just curious whether glucosamine will help to prevent similar problem like yours?
well done. Amazing how the changeover time is getting quicker and quicker. Cool pics. All the best with a gradual but sustained transition back, its all about finding that balance between doing enough to stimulate recovery but not doing too much to cause new damage.
All the best with re-establishing the aerobic base (cross-training might be a good option, swimming, hiking, or cycling maybe), and be patient about going after the more intense stuff.
As long as the long run/s are there (and the speed they are done at IMO is of a low priority, sometimes irrelevant), you only really need about 4-6 weeks of intense stuff to hit a pretty good racing peak.
Your base prior to this was one of the best around, the decline would be on the minimal side, so you still will be right up there, and you may still be up for a really good Boston, if the healing goes well, and you can find a 4 week window of sustained attack.
Patience,persistence, and do the rehab well. We look forward to the updates.
That Moneghetti training camp in Dwellingup in March sounds interesting.
All the best!
Sling,
The evidence on glucosamine in real life situations is pretty disappointing - when only the good trials are looked at thee is very little effect. More than this, pretty much all of the research has been done on older people with already established arthritis.
Without any evidence base it comes down to one of two arguments. 1 It wont do any harm and might save the cartilage, or 2. Buying it is a waste of money and feeding a billion dollar industry.
Being an 'evidence based' GP I dont take it, (just as I genrally dont take anti-inflammatories) but I think it's more than reasonable for others to.
