ÆÆÆÆÆ Monday GTM vacation is over ÅÅÅÅÅÅ
- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
i'm probably due for new shoes as well. for the handful of times a year i run.
Fucking amazing. I'm going to have to give the win to Canada in the mountain and glacier department, but Glacier NP was the winner in the wildlife and fishing categories.
Running shouldn't hurt your knees. It can hurt your calves, hips, glutes, back, hamstrings, feet, ankles...but your knees should be fine. How old are your shoes? Good/new shoes can make a big difference. I'd recommend going to a running store and get properly fitted to a pair if you haven't already. Your sore knee could also be your IT band. Can you pinpoint the exact location of the pain? Might not be a bad idea to go a physical therapist and get checked out. One visit can be a huge help.
Edit: I see Squeeb already asked the shoe question. Go get a fitted for a new pair. Even if your current pair isn't too worn down, a GOOD pair can make a world of difference.

I dont want to have to buy another pair of boots & really will only be skiing slack country.
Morning Monkeys.
The new pup has been getting along well minus my wife being unable to tolerate the whining in the crate. Slow process, but progress
It has been too damn hot to do anything outside.
3 years of running in combat boots on pavement did wonders for my knees. After the last surgery in '07 I was advised to knock it off and exited the Army. I hated running to begin with.

Well I am not smart enough or educated enough to diagnose said problem, but I think my "get new shoes" and "see a PT" pieces of advice are sound. I will say running never bothers my knees (my tears were skiing and hockey injuries). And I don't know what your training looks like but you could have irritated something if you ramped up your mileage or intensity too quickly.
I know you wouldnt steer me wrong.
I dont think my training schedule accounts for the elevation I am running.
too much gear to schlep around but really want to hit this trail near my house before winterBike?
This is the logical conclusion following my advice.Bike?
Sadly, @TN lives in Boulder, which means he's got shit for biking opportunities. And yes, I'm completely ignoring road biking, 'cause that's just a good way to get killed.
i'd probably choose running over road biking too.This is the logical conclusion following my advice.

By this do you mean running at altitude or running hills? Either way, both will make you feel like Superman if you train like that and then run a flat race at sea level. And altitude won't hurt your knee but hills can if you're overstriding when you bomb down them.
Btw from the sound of it it sounds like you've just got some irritation in your knee. Nothing new shoes and some PT can't fix. If you had any structural damage (bone, ligament, cartilage), it'd hurt like hell when you run.
Running at incline reduces knee pressure and lower back strain, downhill not so much. As said to me by PT doc on a treadmill.

Rode many miles and feets of strange this weekend. Hailed on at least twice. Ate lots of delicious foods and drank probably too many beers. I am le tired this morning, gonna be a tough one to push through work today. My Ma comes to visit later this week, and with the temps being cooler right now I really oughtta ride after work today but I... just... it's just that... I mean... tired.
I've got a pair of 192 Bent Chetlers with Barons that I'd make you a helluva deal on... couple Benjis and they're yours, tough guy.
Tuesday to Saturday R041 in many glacier campground, we brought all our water toys (canoe/kayak/SUP) and happy to share if you're around
concurrently...

watched a video of Stevie Smith riding whistler, now i wanna go ride bike parks.
Sooooo..... Got myself kicked right in the eye socket this weekend.... It has left me with a headache......
Also the figurative kick to the face I feel hit a bit harder....
One of our captains was in a boating accident. His wife was killed and we are still searching for his son in the Yellowstone River.....

That is horrific.
The 2018 Colorado Trail Race "started" yesterday, so now I'm glued to the tracker, stalking dots. A good friend who's racing this year just reached Georgia Pass a minute or so ago, the exact spot where her husband (also a good friend) proposed to her in the middle of a high country ride. At 125 miles in to a 525 mile race about 1/3 of the way into day 2, I think she's on pace to complete in her goal of finishing in under 6 days.
The leaders are crushing... unfathomable distance so far. The actual leader is at RM206 and is riding a single speed. My brain doesn't even comprehend that sort of struggle. Under 4 days is happening at that pace... Not sure what the record is exactly but I do think it's 3 days and change. The first person to go under 4 days did so by about 4 hours in 2015.

Also what? I must've missed the part where @6thElement has a finish time for the CTR... last year even. I know he does big-ass races but apparently missed that one. I mean, unless someone with his exact name raced and finished in 2017.
Say what?
Negative on the me, I must have a doppleganger with the same name.
I wouldn't want to race CTR, too much good riding and scenery to plow through in pain and darkness. Wife and I are happily riding the CT the occasional section at a time. I'd wanted to do Gold Hill and Miners Creek over the Ten Mile Range last week while on vacation, but the weather wasn't cooperating. It will be done on an upcoming weekend though before the end of the season.
We did do a great overnight bikepacking trip, south of Eagle, west of the Holy Cross Wilderness last week though...
edit: Is it Jefe Branham Singlespeeding? He was SS when I did Tour Divide 7 years ago too...

Did an Ibis demo on Saturday.
All the bikes had 2.6" Maxxis rubber on 35mm ID rims. They essentially showed up with a whole fleet of fat bikes
