For a start, I was doing a Via Ferrata, something that I have done once, before, within the last six or seven years. The hike down was also quite physical. Combined the VF\u00a0and the hike tired me.<\/p>\n<p>## 62 Hours of Rest<\/p>\n<p>According to Sportstracker I needed to give myself 62 hours to recover from the huge effort. It&#8217;s over 400 minutes of exercise, of which some of it was walking at up to 1900m for the first time in years. I could feel that I was out of breath where I usually did not struggle.<\/p>\n<p>The walk down from the top is also physical. It&#8217;s two hours of walking on a rough surface, with the knees taking a lot of abuse. For the first time in years I could feel that my left knee had enough, and wanted a rest.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what yesterday was about. Yesterday my walk lasted just half an hour. Normally I would walk for an hour or two but I could feel that my left foot, and the mobile part around the toes needed a rest. It&#8217;s good to rest, especially after a physical day.<\/p>\n<p>## Setting Limits<\/p>\n<p>I skipped the VF two or three weeks ago because I was worried about my left foot. It was fine during this VF\u00a0so I think it&#8217;s healed. Yesterday morning, however, I could feel that it needed a rest, so I considered not going for a walk at all. I went shopping, but I wasn&#8217;t going to have an afternoon walk. In the end I did and the foot felt okay. I don&#8217;t want to push too far, and to be stuck having another socially isolated summer, due to an injury.<\/p>\n<p>## And Finally<\/p>\n<p>Some people would have gone to the hospital, to get an x-ray and make sure that everything was fine. I didn&#8217;t. That&#8217;s why I need to keep an eye on the injury, to make sure that it is getting better, and to set more conservative recovery regimes, until it feels normal again.<\/p>\n<p>I will go for an easy hike this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Doing the Via Ferrata(VF)\u00a0on Sunday, and then hiking down was physical.
