Back to standing bike sprints with the offloader brace. I need this fitness level workout. Not all out PR-seeking, but a strong effort, especially considering the upper 90ºs heat index. I was going to swim today but I foolishly melted my goggles by mistake in the drier with my towels. So I punished myself on the bike for my misdeed.
2.5 mile mountain bike sprint - Laurel Branch Trl
Time - 9:54
Avg speed - 13.8 mphMax HR - 176
Avg HR - 168 (inc 1 min recovery at end)
HR over 156 - 10:19
HR over 170 - 4:49
I definitely feel this brace was what I needed to resume to stand up biking. No knee soreness at all.
After yesterday's first stand up bike sprint with the new brace, it got me using the glutes again and I started feeling the soreness on my sit bone from the old proximal ham injury. Something I haven't felt in a while. Need to start doing the band work again on my hams and hip flexors.
I should have been using this thing a year ago. Looking forward to my first runs with it in 5-6 weeks. Hopefully not sooner but I'll be tempted.
