Subject: Getting Back To It After Patellar Tendonitis. I had severe pain in late October simply from overuse of running (mileage sky-rocketed after joining XC team). I was diagnosed with patellar tendonitis and just finished four weeks of physical therapy for it. The therapist told me as long as I keep doing the exercises/stretches and ease back into it, I should be good with running and pain-free. I probably should have asked more in detail this question, but, what's ease back into it?? My usual running routine is 35-45-55 miles per week on 6 runs, then a 28 mile recovery week. Would it be logical to do a 6 week buildup of 17-19-22-27-33-35 (just put it together on paper)? Could it take less time or should it be more time? Just looking for some opinions from any of you who had a similar injury |
