I think I was overtraining my legs with cardio.
I think I was overtraining my legs with cardio. Darkius
I noticed a pain above my knees, like the connective tissue or tendons where getting strained. I thought that was a weakness I'd have to strengthen. So I did my exercises where I could.
I've been going to the gym across the street, 30 minutes here, 30 there, 2-4x a day most days getting my treadmill and bicycle time in spirts. Thats in addition to weights. I thought since I rode 2x11 miles once a week in 2019 that I should be able to ride an hour a day now. I also thought that since I went on 3 mile hikes with my friend, some much longer, once a month at least a while ago, that walking on a treadmill 20-40 minutes here and there was fine. I was trying to burn extra calories to lose weight. Ah yeah, calorie reduction and volume should ring a bell.
I'm glad I caught it. Hopefully I did not develop a long term tendinitis. I need to ask my trainer what volume I should do. I did notice during weight sets she would let me rep and then would start counting down to last rep, cutting me off way earlier than I would have. I don't know if she just assumed I'd quit otherwise and was giving me an easy target, or if she judged by my speed that I should stop.
