Lots of Riding This Week – BionicOldGuy

I may have overdone the volume of riding this week, but the weather has been nice so it’s been fun. Last Tuesday we did a group ride in the hills East of Gilroy that started at the Mendoza ranch entrance to Harvey Bear park. I usually catch a ride up there from my friend’s house, but lately due to SI joint issues I haven’t been able to ride my upright on this long of a ride, and I was afraid my recumbent wouldn’t fit in her vehicle. So I rode the recumbent from home to the start, making this a total of 90 km (56 miles) for me (and 3 batteries). It was a great ride, though. From the valley this time of year, it looks really dry in the east hills, and it’s always amazing how pretty it is when you get up in them. On Wednesday I did one of my hard rides, 85 km in 3 hours 25 minutes, with a bit over two hours brisk tempo followed by some intervals and sprints. Thursday was a hard upper body session followed by an easy recovery ride, then Friday I went to a long brisk tempo ride of 3 Hours 20 minutes. Then yesterday was some easy arm-cycling and an easy recovery ride for a total of 70 minutes. ...

Bumping Up Training – BionicOldGuy

My problems with sciatica are pretty dormant right now so I have been able to bump up my training. I still get a little soreness in my right SI joint if I walk or stand around too much and it sometimes refers minor pain down my leg. I’ve researched how SI joint issues might cross over into sciatica and it seems there are at least two mechanisms. The piriformis muscle crosses the SI joint and can get irritated, which in turn can affect the sciatic nerve which runs right under it (or in some people, it runs through the piriformis muscle). A second way is that if the SI joint is inflamed, it can release inflammatory enzymes (cytokines) which can cross over to the nearby sciatic nerve. There is also a detailed discussion of how the SI joint affects sciatica in this youtube video. Whatever the mechanism, I nip this in the bud by cutting walks short or sitting as needed. Also, I’ve found it helps to wear an SI joint belt. Fortunately, none of my main exercise activities of cycling, arm-cycling, or strength training with resistance bands cause any symptoms. ...
