Day 26 1/2

Its official, skipping has completely ruined my right knee, my shins and ankles. Pissed off as any leg exercises are just agony now. Rope is going in the bin - when I recover its going to be squash, hiking, more circuits and swimming from here on in....anything that pounds or jars the joints is a nono for me...

  1. Do try again in a few weeks, you'll find the legs have healed well and are stronger than ever.

  3. Hey Roland!
    I hurt my knee as well... cant blame the rope tho... maybe the 15 years of rugby and the 10 years off... or the basket or the tennis...
    I actually think it's the lunges on my side! But injuries are part of athletes lives! So as for PCPer!!!
    Good luck mate!

  4. Hey Roland.. I've also got a couple of injuries. I kind of hurt my back doing sit ups a few days ago, but just pushed through the pain. I also strained a tendon in my right leg, but again just push through the pain when exercising. Later, however, I read online that you should never push through back-pain when doing sit-ups. Hmm. I guess you have to be careful when choosing to ignore pain - it is after all your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Take care, and I hope your injury gets better soon.
