Nobody can figure out my knee pain
5 physical therapists
5 chiropractors
1 hijamah expert
1 biomechanics expert
1 massage therapist
1 accupuncturist
Crazy stuff
I have terrible chronic neck pain in the cervical area and thoracic "squeezing pain" as I sleep. No luck with any doctor, they're useless. They look at the MRI, don't see much, so their conclusion is "you're imagining it!". They can't say "I'm just incompetent and I don't care", so they blame it on you. It's very convenient when you think about it.

-- warm up
-- 4 x [3 min as fast as possible up, 1 min rest, MP down, 1 min rest]
-- cool down
pretty tough but not as tough as i expected. last rep extended to 3:39 because a couple of people wanted to hit the full length of the strava segment that encompasses the hill we were doing. i'm not on strava but i'm up for a race.
also a bit long, 14.5 km total.

Walk to gym
Elliptical x 25 mins
Stairmaster x 10 mins
Calf Press x 3 sets
Machine OHP x 3 sets
Wide-Grip Cable Row x 3 sets
walk home
Notes
Left arch + right PTT pretty bad. Think I pushed too hard with the return to running every day + workouts etc. Ah well, we go again. At least I know the route to recovery better now.
The cardio was fartlek style, went hard about 50% of the time. Cba to wear hr monitor.
