PowerCranks: great rehab tool
In my latest blog I come up with a couple of excuses why I haven´t been using my PC´s lately. Here´s another one and maybe the most obvious reason not to powercrank: I have a running related injury in my right thigh which occured after doing two 10k races and a duathlon in the same week. (not the smartest move, I know) That has kept me away from running for more than 4 weeks now, and riding the PC´s was not an option in the beginning.
Now my injury allows me to use the PC´s and I think it´s gonna be a great rehabilitation tool. I can feel that it involves all the muscles and tendons that troubles my running. The challenge now is to strengthen my injured leg and not to go beyond the point where I´m hurting myself again. It´s about finding a balance and that can be hard when you are motivated and impatient.
