GORUCK Challenge
-
That article was posted on Skogg's FB page, I just got around to reading it a couple days ago and meant to post it up here earlier
It's true though. If I push myself too hard, I wind up taking more time off than I would have if I had a more reasonable workout schedule. You wind up getting to the point of negative returns.
Balance is key, and it takes a long time to figure out what your own personal balance is

I left the house to go for a run – returned about ten minutes later. Holy shit. I was wrong. Dead wrong. I think I need to go take a nap...
The place I was/do feel it most is in my core/thighs, freaking hilarious and goes to show the 'full body workout'. Know your pain brutha! I'm about 2-3 months in and it's still kicking my ass serious
-
Unfortunately need to really scale back on my training. My ankle is not healing fast enough. Every night after a workout my ankle balloons to epic proportions. Any recommendations. I know a sprain can last a long time but this is ridiculous to me. So for now it's just strictly diet. Very frustrating!

I'm with you Jeff, my knee can't quite handle running so I've been walking and working on my diet

I rolled my ankle really badly once in college and it was a solid three months before I was able to run again. Extraordinarily frustrating, but it won't help you any to push it before it's healed.

We've got plenty of time Jeff
I realize that but, there is much more to my training than the challenge. I have set a weight goal for myself that I want to accomplish and diet alone isn't going to cut it. So this set back is a bit of a let down.

I've used tons of this stuff after martial arts practice, it works for bruises and joint issues
Ancient Chinese secret, no joke

Thanks Doug

Also goes by "Dit Da Jow" or "Iron Wine". Been around forever. I use this one because I know it comes from a reputable manufacturer
Also: Advil is your friend. You heal slower when you're in pain
no longer in pain. I just don't have confidence in the ankle and the swelling is a concern.

4. Seattle
5. Oklahoma City
6. Florida Keys

More the merrier by all means, I think Jeff was just using 10 as an example.
