Subject: Foot Injury - How do I keep up my running cardio without really runningI have a badly brused foot (I think, I have not been to the doctor ), mainly from progressing in distance too quickly. I did a tri this weekend and then took Monday off. I ran 4 miles yesterday morning and my foot was hurting during the run so I took it easy. Last night it was swollen. I iced and elevated it. I really would like to take a week off of running but my next Tri is on the 27th so I do not want to loose anything I have built in the run over the past months. I will still be biking and swimming, as my foot does not hurt during these activities, but what else can I do??? I have heard of running in the pool but how is that actually acomplished and is that really going to help my foot heal or am I really still not taking the time to let my foot heal correctly. |
