February 10, 201313 yr After everyones box jump feedback I'm growing paranoid about the pain below my calf so I did some reading. It appears as though my soleus muscle is extremely sore from the box jumps followed by running. I made it through todays C25K run but it was painful and I'm substitute Teusdays run with a go at the elliptical. You may want to just rest it until the inflammation dies down
February 10, 201313 yr You may want to just rest it until the inflammation dies down That's what monday's for but if it's still sore Tuesday I will definitely hold off another day.
February 11, 201313 yr I'm still doing the C25K, but I decided to do double weeks, rather than progress on. I'm a little paranoid about my knee. I don't want to re-injure it and have to stop my work out. In addition to doing that, I am still doing a muscle endurance program on the elliptical for 30 minutes, along with weights and about 15 minutes of stretching at the end. On off days, I do some light free weights and yoga. I can't wait for summer, though. In addition to the workout on Saturday, I took my dog for a long walk in the park. I absolutely love taking her on hiking trails, but the ground was too wet for that. Bring on the warmer, drier weather!

February 11, 201313 yr 5/3/1 Squat day, week 3 of current cycle. Leg press and extensions for assistance. Throw in a leg curl or straight leg lift for hammys and glutes. Just for fun. Or you can get serious with a ham glute raise. Need to have something to anchor your feet for that.
February 11, 201313 yr Throw in a leg curl or straight leg lift for hammys and glutes. Just for fun. Or you can get serious with a ham glute raise. Need to have something to anchor your feet for that. I do either good mornings or Romanian deadlift and leg curls on my deadlift / front squat day. If you aren't doing good mornings or Romanian deadlifts you're doing your hammies a disservice. 4-5 sets of 15, don't go super heavy and concentrate on form. Your squat and deadlift numbers will thank you.

February 11, 201313 yr Author Day 33. Did my strength-cardio-abs work-out. Then later went for a short run, maybe 2 miles. Right knee hurts. Has a small soft area on the knee cap. I remember my son had something like that once except much more pronounced and had it drained. I know, TMI! :lol: Just going to take it easy on intense jumping, squats and lunges.
