Ex bike workout

January 4, 2016 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Bike

Comments:
Foot felt a lot better this AM. I did not tape it until after Jeff worked on it. He did :15 of treatment and found that it was A-OK except for a bit of heel joint stiffness. So...it IS bonafide plantar, alright!

So I may write more, but here is what happened, the factors that caused this (in order):

1. Got sloppy and got "trunk left" again
2. Inconsistency with foot action: periods of being stiff, then being "super athletic" and maybe being too vigorous with push-off
3. Wearing the adidas boston boosts...which were TOO DAMN SMALL! It compressed my feet
4. Failing to TRULY get the tissue moving -- tending to tight calves and feet -- when it first came on in mid-December
5. Foot strike inconsistency (lateral striking)

SO you add that all together, and that's how it happens!

NO run today. Playing it safe for one more day. So I did an ex bike workout:

- 10min warm-up
- 3x 5min hard, 2:30 rest
- 15min cooldown

Felt fine on the bike. Generally felt good the rest of the day, maybe a bit sore, but not bad! Taped it a new, more supportive way ("Low-Dye").
