I had a major injury when I was young I still have lots of hardware in my leg because of it, it feels like the world falls apart especially for us folks that are active. I can tell you it's not easy BUT you will get through it and you can get stronger and even better shape. Good vibes your way.
@@gravelracingwithmadsbang I know the feeding , early juni I was out for a short time after a crash on the gravel bike , brused ribs and dislocatie colar bone.
I knew something was wrong when you didnt upload new strava activities. I wish you a good rehab. And remember, muscle memory is real. You will be back in top shape in no time when you start training again.
Thanks a lot. I'm pretty sure getting back in shape once the achilles tendon is right will come fast. It's only all the rehab before I can train properly,. But I'll try out a few things and hopefully speed the process up. Not really liking not riding my bike !
@@gravelracingwithmadsbang You can start rowing to keep the heart going. Victor Campenaerts does some row sessions. It complements cycling very well he says.
So sorry to hear this, I hope you recover fast. When you started to have Achilles issues did you do any strengthening exercises? I've also had issues in the past and I've been doing calf raises for the last two years or so. I'm a bit worried that this can happen to me as well.
Thanks. Hope for a fast recovery 🙏 I've had issues for maybe 5 year. Done lots of work to try and make it better, but nothing really help. A few year back I got an ultrasound on it and was told it would never get better. To much scare tissue in it. That was when I stopped running completely. Because of all the scare tissue the achilles was very unflexible and not as strong. I think this was what ended up making it rupture.
I crashed my bike on my honeymoon, shattered my collarbone and 4 ribs. My wife was pregnant too. The worst part though is not being able to ride, it shows how addicted to it we are. I was able to Zwift after a few weeks at least. It never healed properly even with surgery. You can still do lots of things with your kid though, you can play with him and read to him that is really important for a child, so make the most of the 'down' time with him!
That's not the honeymoon you hope for. Sorry to hear it never healed right. As a mention in the video not being able to train is bad, but not being able to play around with my son and help out at home and with the wedding is worse. I do the chill stuff with him, but i hate that I can't pick him up and play around with him. But I think I'll be able to move more around in a few weeks.
@@gravelracingwithmadsbang Reading and playing with toys with him is also super important, use the extra time with him and enjoy it! Kids grow up so fast, I guarantee you that in 20 years you would give everything you have, every last dollar, to be able to travel back in time to today right now and be exactly where you are. It's priceless.
Mads, my friend, I feel for you, 4 years ago someone pulled out in front of my tt bike with a van. I hit it at 56kmh, shattered my shoulder socket, shoulder blade and collar bone and pushed the whole lot through my ribs and into my lung, 4 months of bed rest, doctors told me I would not get full functionality of my arm and I wouldn’t swim and probably not ride a bike again, until then I was competing in Ironman. With titanium ribs, a collar bone in three parts and reduced lung function I could run-walk 1 mile. It took me a year to train up to ultra marathons, then I decided the surgeons were too used to sick people so I bought a grail (suspension for the shoulder see? And tried to swim again, I am a bit slower on the swim, but otherwise did Corke 70.3 last summer (the one where two people drowned) and mostly got hooked on riding gravel. You will get past this in terms of riding, and your son and wife to be clear;y are not going anywhere, stay strong my firemd 💪
Thanks mate. What a ride for you. Great work on getting back to an active lifestyle. Your massage we for sure motivate me when things get hard! Very very much appreciated🙏
Oh no… I’m sorry man. Really sad news. I think those falls had something to do with it, it was only now it surfaced I think. Anyways, just stay in shape with stretching and breathing exercises, you can still remain healthy. How can I contact you? I have something you need to look into for your healing process.
It's no fun. Think I would rather break a bone than tore my achilles. I try to move as much as possible. You are welcome to reach out on my mail gravelracingwithmadsbang@gmail.com
Mange tak! Det bliver en alternativ brusevals, men det bliver en man husker🥳 Så snart jeg har været til først check vil jeg begynde at med hometraineren.
Damn! So sorry to hear about your Achilles’ tendon. Hopefully you’re doing some physical rehabilitation in order to speed your recovery.
Thanks Dave. I'll do lots of rehab. Luckily they got a hole program to follow the next few months

Thanks a lot. It really does feel like the world falls apart when you are used to moving a lot.
Super unlucky.
Hope You have a speedy recovery and a good wedding despite the little bump 🤞💪
Thanks a lot. Not the wedding I planed for, but it will be memorable😂
aaai sorry to hear Mats. wish you a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear,speedy recovery l,know how frustrating it is for an athlete to be injured,take care don’t be in a hurry
Thanks a lot. It sure is frustrating when you are used to getting out and moving. Hope I can start with some light activities in a few weeks

Thanks a lot. Really hope so🙏

That's a really good idea!!
Good recovery man!
Thanks a lot!🙏
Virkelig øv! God bedring 🤞
Ja det er op ad bakke, men håber snart jeg kan begynde at bevæge mig lidt.
The night is darkest just before sunrise. 2025 will be your year. Rest up and get stronger 🫡👍
That's the plan. For now it's all about resting and healing and as soon as possible I'll start training.

I believe you. The last year and a half has gone by sooo fast!
Ohh no, so sorry!
Det er virkelig noget lort!

It sure was.. Lots and lots of crashes out there.
God bedring Mads
Mange tak🙏
Nyd sommeren, kom på hometraineren hurtigst nu når benet er klar igen og så laver du hurtigt comeback til 2025.
