Four days of running this week. 4 miles, 5 miles, 4 miles, 7 miles. They all were a lot harder than they used to be. My cardio and endurance are not what they should be.
And after the 7 miler yesterday, I’m feeling… something in my leg. It’s not in the same spot as the tibia stress fracture. It’s the other side — the fibula side. Is this ANOTHER stress fracture? An overcompensation for what remains (or is still a stress fracture) on the tibia side?
My sports orthopedist was an unhelpful doctor who essentially told me to figure it out and was all-in on AI and chatGPT to solve problems. I don’t think going back to him is the right call.
This morning I consulted the Large Language Model, a robotic synthesis of supposed “expert” but no doubt skewed “expertise.”\u00a0 It was surprisingly accurate from a “CYA,” don’t get sued perspective.\u00a0 Basically it could or could not be something to be worried about.\u00a0 I should take a 2-4 days off and cross train but if I’m worried about it I should see a sports medicine doctor.<\/p>\r\n
Not sure what this does to my plan to get back into marathon shape by Mid-May.\u00a0 Sounding like even the robots are telling me this is a fool’s errand.<\/p>\r\n
Freakin’ robots.<\/p>\r\n
I know I just want to hear what I want to hear… and that is a bad place to start from when you’re trying to get better.\u00a0 But I also am not sure I can handle going back to zero again.<\/p>\r\n
This is not the plan.\u00a0 Not by a long shot.\u00a0 And that’s no fibula.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
