Testing ... BIKE

I am currently in therapy and on massive steroids for a back issue (possibly sciatic or herniated disc w/ MRI on Monday). Biking can create the most pain, so I have only been doing light biking sitting up pretty much 100% of the time, but trying to keep some bike fitness.  So I am going to put off doing any testing for bike or run for the time being til that is feeling better.  I could probably do swim testing if needed.

    Yes, good call, no need to do the bike testing under those circumstances until things improve. Good luck with your recovery!

    Hate to jump in on Macro threads, I herniated a disc 18 months ago, the only thing I COULD do was bike, but that said, we found i was most comfortable on a tri bike and NOT a road bike, being further bent over relieved the impingement point. inbox me if you want to know more
