You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Rtype Subject: RE: 50+ Masters Training and Racing Open Forum Body: Congrats on the xc race and series old guy II. Can’t say I’ve had that particular malady but have had bursitis in other parts. I found ibuprofen at bedtime for weeks, even after it seemed better, helped. I’ve been using that TX for my left knee and it’s working, albeit slowly. After being a streak runner for the first 8 months this year and not seeing improvement in my knee I returned to what worked best for me: 5 days a week, never running on Thur or Fri’s. Saturday’s and Tuesday’s are hard, Sunday’s are slower and longer and Monday’s and Wednesday’s are medium. 30 miles a week is about my max and last week was total of 13 during this recovery period. I cannot run on the flat or pavement so I’m hitting the trails. Tuesday’s was my standard uphill push of only 1.8 miles, but 800 foot elevation gain. The goal is to get my HR above 95% and I accomplished that with a 174 (max is 181). Yesterday’s trail was a variation on the above, with climbing the same hill from a different angle. I am a track guy so trails are alien to me, but necessary if I want to get better. So I’m making slow steady progress on my knee while incrementally increasing the miles and intensity. I think I’ve learned a valuable lesson with this last injury: I aint no Ed Whitlock! Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
