cross training for cross country?
Filed under Cross Training Answers
i have Achilles tendinitis so i cant run more then 1 mile at race pace or 2 miles at a low speed without huge and intense pain in my Achilles tendon even when i tape my foot. i have a bike so i was wondering what would be a good cross training workout plan so that i will be in good shape when i get better. currently i bike 2.5-3 miles every day at around 4:40 minute mile pace, i bike without stopping to pedal standing up.
im not really dumb i know what to do: i know i have to ice and strech every day. considering i am a top contributer to running and have like 50 best answers in a row why would you think that i didnt know this. all i need is a plan for how much and how fast i should bike every day because im not that good at planning out scheduals and knowing how much BIKING i should do for a good workout.

Hey, I trained at a heath club for a long time and seen a lot of similar injuries.Try and bike every other day,stretch daily,try to rest that tendon,(put the leg up with ice 2-3 times a day, ice 15-20 minutes). When it starts to be Better, then start to walk ,then jog, then run.It will take a while, About a few weeks,depends on you. If it reoccurs, You may seek out a physical therapist for more input. Ask your doctor about that, you need that tendon to walk.
you should bike for at least 30 min each day and treat your achilles with ice and stretching
