This time not just uncomfortable, but it literally feels painful. Maybe I wasn’t doing something right. Maybe I need to hit the gym, I think my leg muscles are not strong enough. This is the most upset I’ve felt so far in my training. I knew it could happen but I thought I’ve done enough to prevent it. Anyways I’m seeing my PT Dave today.
------------
it was encouraging to see Dave because he always makes me feel that the pain I’m having can go away with proper exercise and care.
He explained to me how muscles help cushion the knees and I totally got enrolled. I will need to strengthen my calves, quads and glutes. It seems that my calves are the weakest of the 3 right now.
He also talked about the balance of the whole body’s muscular system. Because I’m sitting most of the time during the day, some muscles get too weak so other muscles compensate. This is not good because then the whole system is not working together properly, which causes muscles to get over stressed and become tired easily.
What I need to do is balance out my workout so every muscle plays a part in my running, including upper body (core is extremely important, as it can carry some weight off lower body keep a good posture)
