David45's training thread

If I didn't get hurt, I promise I will shut up

David do you have a new living situation or are we still having to work around the small grass yard to run in? Do you have a bicycle?

Hold on! I bet he doesn't have a bicycle because:

They are too expensive

There are no bike shops in San Diego

His parents will not allow him to have a bicycle

His house sits in the middle of a freeway and riding a bike is too dangerous

He never learned how to ride a bike

He rode a bike once when he was seven. He crashed and has been afraid of bicycles ever since

He tried to join his high school bicycle club but the coach wouldn't let him join because he never raced the Tour de France. Was bike club fun? Did they have hot boy parties and go on road trips?

Training is simple > Only do what you need to do improve and don't do more than what allows you to either.

Deciding , on some set plan is not necessarily the way to do it especially after long layoffs. Be patient enjoy you life there is plenty of time for it to feel like a grind when and if you get there.

Yeah right! This can’t be true! Maybe there aren’t as many bike shops as in American towns, but there can’t be zero bike shops just because it’s Mexico!

And:

His house and yard don't have room to store a bike

No, I don't have a bicycle

Why not?

I don't have one, and I am not getting one. End of story

Yes, why can't you exercise by biking? This will build your endurance to transition you to running.

I recall him saying on reddit he won't swim either because "only running will make you better at running"

That's kind of smart. Relatively speaking, anyway.

Sine David is a ucla student, he should have access to a gym where he can cross train on the elliptical until all his injuries go away.
