Greetings RAW Warriors,
In the past, I have been hit with injuries. Some I can work around and rest up, while others can take much longer to fix and recover from.
Some are minor, and these may take anywhere from a day or two of rest to a good week. Others are more serious and need medical attention. I once had two back to back ones, the first being a plantar fascia issue, then a work injury affected my nerve and caused tingling for many months. It was a long process to wait out, but worth it. It turned me towards the direction of using kettlebell ballistic exercises, such as swings, cleans, and snatches. These exercises can be a great replacement mode of exercise when running is forced to be an absent part of your routine.
I know that running and lifting rarely go together like chocolate and peanut butter do, but its worth doing together. Most runners think that more miles are the solution, while lifters mostly scoff at the thought of running a mile.
My answer to blending the two are to bridge the gap with kettlebells. You get the benefits of lifting plus some cardio boost from it. If you are sidelined from running, the kettlebells give you cardio power plus allow you to lift to your hearts desire.
KettleBolics is a guide that I made to help blend the two for running purposes. It is a part of my "Just The Workouts" guide at http://tinyurl.com/rkofp.
When you get injured, look to kettlebells to fix some issues and help you find a solution.
Lift. Dominate. Repeat.
