Hope you get better soon. Speaking as a 70 yr old trying to keep my running game going, it sucks we break so easily and take longer to recover; even compared to just last couple of years. What I do in cases where I am 'hurt' from running is I'll switch to indoor cycling, TRX/core training, and the hardest thing of all 'rest'. Also I go to 24hr Fitness (it's all free on my Medicare plan) for the saunas and jaccussis. Nothing helps better and quicker than stepping up my bloodflow/metabolism with daily heat therapy, plus lots of sleep. Stay hydrated !
Great tips!!! I have been increasing my kettlebell workouts. I need to do it anyway, to strengthen my back! I have been so fortunate on the injury front the past several years, so this took me a bit by surprise. However, I know recovery is slower as we age. I need to do the daily heat therapy and have been trying to sleep well. Thank you!!!
