The last month has been a tough one. Instead of cranking up the intensity to get ready for the race season, which is only 7 weeks away, I have been trying to nurse a knee back into shape. I have one of those injuries that require only one thing, and being an athlete with a goal, a plan, a lot invested, and just too much energy, that one thing is really difficult to find: PATIENCE.
It has been diagnosed as several different things, but the bottom line is, I haven’t been able to run, skate rollerski, or bike for the last month. What does that leave? That’s right… double poling. I was a pretty good at double poling to begin with but now I feel strong. I guess that can be expected when the workouts over the last month have been upper body focused.
