Hi all. I ran this for two weeks on top of too much running - quads already sore, the extra eccentrics made me even sorer. Rested a week and restarted reasonably and it's...reasonable!
They suggest spending Tuesday and Thursday on an upper body program:
- 50 band pullouts
- 3x10 ring pushups alternating 3x10 ring/TRX rows
- 50 more band pullouts
- HALF AN HOUR of timed stretches lasting 1-2min each for everything in the lower body
So for once in my life I actually stretched for the amount of time the physios have always told me to. I am pretty sure this is part of the secret sauce.
I found that doing the exercises at the end of my other activities, rather than as a warmup, helps. Also, I've started interpreting the "no pain" rule to mean "nothing more than (very) mild fatigue". With those two things, my knees have been much happier, both relative to the workouts and in general.
