Thought the knee pain from my exercises came from skate-jumps, but I’m starting to think Bulgarian split squats were the real culprit. Knee’s stiff and sore—maybe that was too much. Looks like I’ll need some rest this weekend.

Eccentric vs. Concentric Movement Eccentric actions are slow and steady, while concentric ones are fast and controlled. A sports medicine specialist explains how, together, these movements complete a full-body workout.

"Often, #tendon training gets overlooked when we’re focused on #muscle strengthening.. #EccentricTraining is just as important for building #strength & endurance, & we should approach resistance with the same level of control as #lifting.": buff.ly/oPso84M

My vastus lateralis and vastus medialis still hurt from the skate-jump exercises four days ago. Round two tomorrow morning. When it hurts, it works?

My son is back on the hockey field a year after a torn meniscus and two surgical repairs. I’m 36 wks into a year recovery. While he is at 100%, I wonder if I’ll get there too. However, walking, stairs, cycling, and running are going well.

For the first time since 21 June 2025, I went outside for a jogging session. Lovely to be outside again—tough, but great to get moving again. Most importantly: the knee feels good; the endurance will come back. No need to worry or rush.

My running session at physio this morning was a tough one: 5 minutes at 7.5 km/h, followed by 3 times 1 min at 10 km/h.
Spring-like weather is expected on Wednesday, so my plan is to go outside. The goal is to run easy and loosen up.

Instead of the usual physio exercises today, I did five 4-minute runs at 7.5 km/h (8 min/km pace). This means that at some point, I’ll be able to go outside for a run again. Really looking forward. But the temperature needs to rise first (86/🧵)

Started jump squats at physio today (30 weeks after surgery). Once a volleyball player — now proudly achieving “barely off the floor.” About 98 cm to go.

To measure is to know. After months of physiotherapy and doing exercises, the difference in strength between my left and right leg, measured during a leg extension, is only 1 kg.

HIF1α gates tendon response to overload and drives tendinopathy independently of vascular recruitment HIF1α activation promotes tendinopathy, and its inhibition prevents overload-induced maladaptation, suggesting therapeutic potential.

Anyhow, when I walk outside in this cold weather (below −2 °C), my quadriceps feel similar to how they used to feel after a run without a proper warm-up.

I keep feeling like my kneecap is a bit loose when I walk. Today, the physiotherapist made a video of me jogging (7 km/h) to see whether what I feel matches what is visible. It actually looks smoother than it feels — a reassuring observation.

Like a Spotify Wrapped, I made a Polar Flow Wrapped for my physio: 32 sessions, 17h51m in 5 months. These are only the sessions with my physiotherapist — I didn’t log the home exercises. Halfway there, hoping to add jogging again soon.

6 Months after the rupture, the difference between my surgery leg and my healthy leg is still clear, especially when the quadriceps are contracted. Strength is returning-just needs time. But it’s okay. For now, I’m grateful for all I can do.

No news is good news. The same applies to my recovery. Progress is coming in small steps, but I’m still working on it — building strength and endurance. My walking could use more ease and fluidity, but that too is a matter of patience.

Twenty weeks after surgery, there’s stiffness in the knee and mild pain around the kneecap. Even though strength exercises are going well, it may be due to fluid buildup, scar tissue, overuse, tight quads, or patellar-tendon irritation.

Today I ran (well, jogged) a few min on the treadmill at the physio - 149 days after my last run, 143 days after tearing my quadriceps, and 133 days after surgery. It went well enough that I can start building up outdoors again. 👟

Today no exercises at physiotherapy, but the “hardening” in the rectus femoris muscle just above the patella was massaged loose. I’d been bothered by it for a few days. However, it’s not something to worry about.
