I took a solid week off from training. I even rode the bus to work instead of riding. So, this week I’m back at it with a thought to doing Hulaman August 17 (though I haven’t pulled the trigger and signed up yet). I started back up with my training plan 5 weeks out from race day, which conveniently is a recovery week, week 16. I actually feel a bit sluggish. I’ve struggled with getting up in the mornings and my run today was pretty heavy plus some ITBS pain. I think it may just be the break and lack of stretching. I’m going to monitor it. Maybe next time after a race, I do some light workouts just to keep the body moving.

Hi there. I think you posted something (somewhere else) mentioning that you had surgery on your peroneal tendon(s). Following 3 ankle sprains, I have terrible peroneal tendinosis and will probably have surgery soon.
Can you tell me if you had a good outcome? Seems like you did, based on your activity level. How long was the recovery?

Comment by Adam July 21, 2008 @ 4:01 pmbig picture: surgery was very successful
micro picture: i should have continued stretching/strengthening systematically long after it felt better. i have a definite muscle imbalance that i’m still working on (it’s small, but makes itself known with intense exercise)
Good luck!
Hey, that’s certainly overcome-able! Better than sharp tendon pain.
Can I also ask… what was the problem that you needed fixed? Degeneration? A tear? Rupture?

In my case, it was a “trauma”. I had a pair of boots that ruined my stride for the short time I wore them, about two months. Pretty bad, dull pain that wouldn’t go away. The first doc I saw suggested surgery (too quickly, I thought). I tried cortisone. I tried 6 months of PT. In the end, surgery is what I should have done first. I had synovitis & tendonitis in the peroneal tendon just below the ankle bone. So, they opened it up; scraped it out; bound it back up; and patched me up. It took six months for me to even try running. I wasn’t active at the time, but it was still a long recovery. I’d have gone nuts if I was doing tri’s then.
[as an aside, I was at Columbia, GSAPP '99]
