I fell off my bike 2 weeks ago and broke my shoulder into several pieces. I'm in a sling for another 4-6 weeks. I'll start pt on the shoulder sometime in December.
any suggestions for starting totally from scratch? my whole body is deconditioned, and I can only walk 2 blocks right now.
I'm sure there are others out there who've had to do this.

There are lots Buffbabe but many of them don't hang here in the Tri area. I would start your own thread in the health section maybe.
I know a lot of the ladies here with upper extremity injuries ended up spending a lot of time on the trainer while they were healing.
As a PT, I can tell you that there will be lots of things that you will be able to do soon and things will seem much better in a few weeks.
Sorry to hear about your accident and I hope you heal quickly!!Living life like there's no tomorrow.

I am quite happy with my coach and training, and plan to keep right on doing that. So the two major changes for me, and they are linked: stepping up from sprint to Olympic length, and learning how to deal with the increased nutritional demands of a longer race, because I have pretty much been able to not worry about food during a sprint length.

Gee, I forgot to say I am thinking about getting a new bike for races.

Chi Running
The book is a bit of a slog...but the ideas in Chi Running do make sense to me. That's partly because I have been taking a weekly Tai Chi class for abt a year. Also, since I really haven't run at all in, oh, 47 years or so, I haven't any old running habits to change or, for that matter, any running experience at all to compare Chi running to. The biggest thing I am trying to unlearn is, like many (most?) westerners, I am used to thinking of my arms and legs doing the work to carry my body along. Both Chi Running and Terry Laughlin's swim technique (and Tai Chi) emphasize moving from the core. Originally Posted by Bike Chick

+1! I've taken to using it more as a reference book than anything else. It's just not "fun" reading, no matter how much I try! But the ideas make sense to my head....now if only I could get my body to cooperate Originally Posted by Sandy Borthick
