After resuming my training again last Monday, I am starting to feel a little more like myself. I really liked having some downtime but couldn't wait to pick things back up again.
After a nice easy 25 minute run and 60 minute turbo earlier in the day I was welcomed back to swimming with a main set of 32 x 100's, yay. I just cruised through, thought about maintaining a good stroke and didn't feel too bad. 5.5k later I didn't feel quite as fresh but happy to have no real discomfort from my elbow or knee. The following day I did a light 15 minute run, and some stretching followed by some electrotherapy treatment on my knee to help speed up the healing process, maybe University wasn't such a waste.
I have continued with the light aerobic work on all 3 disciplines and have not really suffered with any adverse effects following training. I will continue staying aerobic through the rest of this week before I have something more solid drawn up by my coach, really hope I return to my pre-injury state soon.
It is tempting to push things too early but I need to feel comfortable before the intensity returns. Mostly I look forward to not feeling like an elephant when I run, I think I must have left my bounce at the roadside where I crashed.
