The inflammation that has flared up my sciatica seems to be clearing up. The discomfort is no longer interfering with sleep at night, and I am carefully ramping my training back up, so far with no ill-effects. On Wednesday I was able to ride for an hour and even threw in some shorter intervals and some on-bike strength training. I was prepared to back off if there had been any pain referring down my left leg from the sciatica, but fortunately didn’t have to. On Thursday I was able to resume my upper-body strength training which was also well tolerated. Yesterday I went on an enjoyable brisk 90 minute ride. Now I just have to continue improving but watch out for the temptation to go too hard which could lead to a backslide.
