« on: September 15, 2017, 10:41:31 am »good news on the knee, and shoulder tbh .. if the knee keeps improving and allows you to get some more runs in (if your work schedule allows it), i'd be curious to see how you'd feel if you bumped up the run frequency a little. Could really loosen that shoulder up. These light runs & eventually some light intervals (relaxed/very submax 100's with walk back recovery) could be just the thing to promote more healing/adaptation.
jump rope can be pretty intense on the shoulders from my experience, and you'll get more ROM during running .. so i'd personally try and get more light runs in (if possible) & see what happens - as long as the knee isn't made worse by the runs of course.
personally i'd try to avoid ultimate for a bit, just to help try and not aggravate it alot. :/
peace!
i'm gonna add distance gradually before i add frequency, in part because it's easier with work and stuff and in part because i think not letting myself rest enough is part of the problem. that said, the knee started hurting almost immediately when i went back to tennis a month or so ago -- as soon as i had to decelerate to the forehand (right) side it was in pain. and it's been problematic off and on for years.
tbh what i really need to do is get back into PT mode like i did when i was spraining my ankle over and over in my early 20s.
jump rope doesn't bother the shoulder seemingly at all, so i'm gonna keep doing it here and there.
