Fear to lose the training...

[nos]

Hello, my training season ended on May 15 when I finish the MTB Marathon of 3 days. After that date, I have a break the bike training during 3 weeks for a injury.

After these three weeks, I returned much better although with higher pulse, somewhat normal. Only it made routes to enjoy in my bike because my training session has ended on May 15.

Just 3 weeks ago, I suffered a sharp fall and I had to sew the knee . Now I have no points, but has yet to regenerate tissue. Luckily, I have nothing broken, it's just flesh and skin.

I think I'll don't ride with the bike 4 to 6 weeks at least. Until it heals completely.

This year I trained a lot and I'm afraid to lose all training. Also I'm a little sad because in October, by work, I can not take the bike.

I will lose much?, I'm really worried and do not stop mulling....


Thanks in advance.

Can you still walk ok? If you can, then you could keep a lot of fitness by walking quickly, especially up hills/mountains.

Currently I have the knee bandaged and prevents bending me a lot...

I have had a few prolonged breaks from cycling, each time I came back my fitness returned very quickly.

Swimming is good for when you cannot cycle or run.

The problem I have is that, for now, can not wet the wound.

How long they have been these breaks?

You need to ask these questions of the medical professional who has your full medical records. The only advice we can really give is don't get tempted to do too much too soon.

A year or more in one case.

Trapped nerve in back for one and a torn kneee ligament for another, and I nearly forgot the lack of interest year.

When coming back from a long lay off I found the Mathetone Method, (google it) Worked very well for me.

You won't lose too much. Try 9 months off the bike !
