I have an appointment with my Doctor next Wednesday; for the last week or so I've been getting pain in my left foot when walking, jogging etc. The last time I had these symptoms, it was a stress fracture.
Obviously, I'm not second-guessing my Doc. I'll wait until he examines me. But I believe in hoping for the best while preping for the worst, hence this Thread.
I figure I can work around a Stress Fracture by adjusting my MA training; less sparring/Rolling, no kicking with my left leg etc.
Strength training can be adjusted as well. At the moment I'm doing the Juggernaut 2 day split, which in fact is a hybrid: you do the first Lift of the workout Juggernaut-style and the use 5/3/1 with no AMAP for the second Big Lift. If I do have an SF, I'll switch to the 3 day Juggernaut split. This is actually "lighter" since the emphasis is on Reps.
The problem is Cardio. At the moment I jog twice a week and sprint on the same days I Lift. Obviously, I can't do that while healing an SF. Swimming would be my first choice, or maybe use this as an excuse to buy a BFO tyre and sledgehammer.
Any other suggestions for Cardio while healing a Stress Fracture will be gratefully received.
Thanks.
