Back to the hospital

First setback since starting training. I have a small wound under my right foot. Its painful and today i did 10 k on the bike and started the 5 k on the rowing machine.

After 2200 meters i had to stop! grrrrrrr

When you loose 5 toes, you also loose a lot of balance. This lack of balance let you use your feet differently than before the operations. Pressure points at the soles of the feet shift and make little blisters between the callus and connective tissue. Those small pockets have great impact. They also cause pain when you put weight on your feet.

To train your balance, you need to be out of balance. Use a Bosu, one leg, or other balance disturbances. This is not an option for me right now. But i am sure it will come later 🙂

I have to lower my work-out load, for the coming days no strength just very mild cardio on the bike

1-14-24: 5000 easy meters on the bike;

1-15-24: 5000 easy meters on the bike;

1-16-24: 2500 meters seated SkiErg;

1-17-24: 2500 meters seated SkiErg and 5000 meters on bikeErg.

Lets see what this will bring me? March 2024 I know now what it brought me, a new operation more Amputation and a mayor set back. Bad luck with capital letters.

See my next blog.
