My interview with Masterstrack.com

[Arrojo]

Hello, fellow hippies.  I was recently interviewed on the Masterstrack.com website, wherein I discuss my recovery from hip resurfacing surgery to competition, among other things.  I also mention this website as being especially helpful in providing me the information I needed to make an informed decision.  :)

You can read the whole article here:

Enjoy!

Dang! I want to be like you.


So is there somewhere I can see the 16 week resurfacing to 5K training plan? I have a few months before I am released to run, but not too soon to start dreaming.


Do you recall the weaknesses/tightness you had?

[Arrojo]

Thanks blinky,

I posted the resurfacing to 5K program in the running forum awhile back:  http://surfacehippy.info/hiptalk/index.php?topic=3941.0

Obviously, you need to be cleared for running before you begin that. 

I don't recall any weakness actually.  I do get tightness in the hip flexor area - in addition to A.R.T. once a month, I use a foam roller on the area before and after every run.  I'd recommend both ART and foam rolling to anyone who's had a resurfacing regardless of whether you are a runner.

Thanks, that was terrific. I saved it.


I can see where ART will be helpful in the future. Right now I am trying to get stronger in ad and abductors and undo some bad habits.
