Subject: Injury Question Greetings - Its been a while, but I'm back after a work/life induced break from the board.
Quick Background: After what I would consider a great first tri season (5 sprint races ) I decided to finish off the year with a 1/2 marathon in November (It was suppose to be yesterday ). Two weeks ago after a long run I started to feel a little pain in my right foot. It progressively got worse until the next morning I could barely walk. I went to the doctor who informed me that I had streched the ligaments along the bottom of my foot and that I cannot run or bikes for at least 4 weeks, but possibly longer. I have been cleared to swim though.
I am getting back to the pool this week, and would like to mix in some weight training as well. I have never hit the weights, and am wondering if those with experience can offer some suggestions for a workout that will help me build upper body and "core" strength without using the injured foot.
It's good to be back - Thanks.
