Active Recovery!
Active Recovery & Compex
I get asked the following question quite frequently…” How have you been able to race so long?” Well if only I knew the answer to that..LOL… But here is a try at answering it.
For one I really do love what I do. Triathlon is one of the hardest sports to train for. It is very hard to master just one and Triathetes have to master 3 sports.So just when you think you have figured it out there is always something new to master. I am also a huge believer in making sure you recover properly from your workouts. I often tell the other athletes that I coach that Rest is training as well. Yes it is OK to take a day off put the feet up and feel what is like to be like everyone else. Thanks goodness you get to train again tomorrow.
Finally it is the extra little things that really count. For instance I am a firm believer in Massage, ART and my Compex. I must admit I love my Compex the most. I can use it any where whether I am sitting on the couch watching TV, in the car traveling to a race or even laying in bed. Its the easiest form of training. Why? Because you really don’t have to do anything. Can’t think of anything easier than that. Place the pads in the desired areas and I am ready to go.

You Gotta Have It!

Hey All,
So I have been meaning to write and never do whenever the discussion comes up about training/racing gear. You hear plenty of talk about race wheels, powermeters, heart rate monitors, etc, but more important to racing is hoiw well you recover while training and staying injury free.
Last year I got one of the COMPEX units and the thing is AWESOME. I have used it exclusively for the active recovery. I was reminded just how awesome and versatile this tool is when I started to develop tenderness in my achilles and a big ole knot in my calf. Sound familiar? Too much, too soon. Should be my nickname!!
At the first sign of trouble I started my hot/cold therapy, limited stretching, which is like always the first thing I want to do, and using the TriggerPoint roller. The next day I still had the same thing going on, so I took the day off from running and used my COMPEX in the morning and again in the evening.
I feel 100% different today. I will get in a shorter than scheduled run in, hit the ice when I get back and then use the Compex again tonight. I’ll send an update tomorrow, but the knot is gone and the achilles feels normal. No NSAID’s were used in the production of this email!!
This is a true unsolicited testimonial and I am not compensated by COMPEX. If you are thinking about spending thousands on wheels or a power meter, I would strongly encourage you to think about picking up a COMPEX for less than half the cash and the thing is much more useful. Being able to train better and more consistently is the best tool in your ‘get faster’ kit!!
Have a great day!!
