how did it go? how are you feeling?
Great, thanks. I was back on my commuter bike (a GT Karakoram with flat pedals) within 5 weeks of the surgery and back clipped in on my Evo another 3 weeks after that. I’ve had 5 weeks of slowly building up to a few hours at a time, doing loads of strength and flexibility as well, and even with some tenderness from the operation, I feel better on the bike than I did when super fit but with the arthritis. It’s a bit frustrating having to go quite slowly for now, but boy do I love being back on my bike!!!
And the thing I’m really noticing is my sleep and recovery and general energy levels are better than ever before (according to my Whoop). Hopefully starting to train a bit more consistently in the next few weeks!
