I had PF for 2 years without PT (didn’t know to go). Had 1 round of cortisone shots but didn’t help too much. Minus PT, I healed my PF with orthotics, ice socks, and massaging with muscle cream every night. Now I have insertional Achilles tendonitis (another year as I thought it would now be the norm) and haven’t run in 4 weeks. Starting PT this week and hoping for the best- ready to be pain free when running after 3 years 🤞🏼 Appreciate your sharing as I relate to your pain and frustration. Getting ready for 70.3 Waco this October and have been grateful for your channel. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Great to see another video. Loved the underwater footage. Sorry about the injuries. Shockwave helps a lot of people with PF but I know it’s a super frustrating injury. In the meantime, you can do more swimming footage/workouts in the videos! That’s my fave.
Last Sunday I missed my first ever 70.3 that i’ve been training for since November due to a pneumonia. Accept the thinks we can’t control, embrace the suck and come back stronger. Good to see you guys again! Love from Brazil
SO sorry to hear about the injuries...esp the PF--it's horrible. I've battled it twice now a few years apart, first in the left, then the right foot, ugh. A few things I've learned to really help combat it: kinetic stretching before and after runs and bikes, massaging out the fascia nearly every night, and strengthen the glutes and the feet/ankles. We're all different and so I hope and pray you can figure out the key factors to spur on healing! God bless, Megan
I'm sort of in the same boat as Miguel at the moment. I just came off a left ankle sprain and after an Olympic triathlon this weekend I'm getting some severe pain in my left foot. I've used generic insoles in the past, but I think it's time I get some more serious ones... And do some foot/ankle strengthening exercises We're all on the road to being fast and healthy together!
Sorry to hear that you’re going through the injuries guys, but like Jenna said listen to your bodies it will only prepare for a longer and stronger future in the sport! Keep your heads up and focus on the cans over can’ts. You got this 💪
So happy ur back!!! Sorry about the injuries and life but once again ur positive attitude and acceptance will see you through!! See you in st George and good luck in LA!
Thanks for all your videos! For you plantar fasciitis I recommend walkhero insoles in all your shoes especially your running shoes and powerstep sandals. Never go barefoot until you are healed. Begin with walking and then walk and runs as you get better. This worked for me and Maybe it will help you, all the best.
Regarding plantar fasciitis. There’s some great episodes of The Run Smarter Podcast that talk about some of the misconceptions of the best ways to treat it. Highly recommend episode 222 with Jen. One thing in particular that was helpful was to focus more on strength training. Hope this helps and that you’re back at it soon. 😁
I feel so bad for you. I am 52 and had never had foot or any injury problems my entire life until doing the 70.3 in Hawaii last year. Did it in some Nike Alphafly which I had only used for a few short runs prior. After the race my foot really hurt but never having to deal with this, didn’t know what it was. I thought I had just stepped on a rock or something. After a couple more days of vacation it felt like a 1000 degree ice pick stabbing into my heal. I thought this isn’t right and did some research to find out it was planter fasciitis. One Dr visit and about 4 months of night braces and stretching and all the other recommended things and I was about 50% better, 9 months and I was 90% better and right about the weekend the race happened this year I realized I no longer feel anything. It’s a really bad injury to work through. Wishing you lots of luck with your recovery.
Watched this and have felt your Achilles pain. My immediate thought? Wish they came down to Long Beach. I kept watching and yay, you are coming down here! I had Achilles pain and eventually Planter Fascia pain for six years. Tried a few things and nothing helped. A tri friend referred me to Jason Miller, a massage therapist. He was the therapist for the US Track and Field-team. He gets athletes. It was the cupping technique that took away the pain in one treatment over a year ago. He teaches cupping all over the world to other practitioners. So, if your schedules align, I think he can help you both.
As a competitive endurance athlete / coach for over fifty years you learn to focus on what you can do and not what you can’t I just broke my arm and won’t be back in the water until 2023. As a 67 year old runner the mileage has to stay low. So not being able to swim everyday is challenging. The plan was to train for Masters long course Nationals 2023 and now it’s TBD 13 months out. This is all part of it .Stay positive
As someone who also has plantar fasciitis, go to a podiatrist and get some custom orthotics. I’m 40 and have gone through lots of pairs in the last 30 yrs. I’m in the process of getting more made now as running 100km a week, you go through them quickly.
Hope to see you back in shape for 70.3 worlds Miguel. It's easier said than done (as we all love running) but I've found with myself I have to really restrict my run mileage to reduce injury risk and increase swim & bike volume as ultimately if you are stronger on the swim and bike you will run better (taken less out of you) and be in a better position in the race in T2 anyway!
I only met you the day at Escape from Alcatraz race but have loved watching your content on TH-cam. So can I be your friend? Sorry there have been some injuries. Wow, the deep underwater stuff is fun to watch. I am housing a few pros for Legacy Tri so I'll be up there watching the races and look forward to seeing you both. Miguel, where the drone goes, you go!
Great to see you guys back again! Hey a question for your swimming buddy, how does he like the Xterra wetsuit. I can’t seem to find many legit resources reviewing them, and what reviews I do find seem to be very polarizing.
you should never dive down with swim goggles, because you cant do pressure balance and risk barotrauma to the eyes. Use dive goggles where the eye compartment is connected to the nose piece!
I am praying for you Miguel and Jenna guys are awesome keep up the good work I’m pulling for you Miguel I hope I said your name right now I would love to be your best Bud and my name is AngeloWillis i’m currently from Detroit Michigan but I live in Birmingham Alabama and I am also training for a half Iron Man triathlon 🏃🏾♂️🚴🏽♂️🏊🏻🥇
omg miles is flynn 😍😭 love him
Miles IS Flynn, 11 years into the future 👯 lots of good trail miles on that pup

Welcome back! Yay for Miguel having friends lol XD

What app are you using for the swim workouts that Jenna has in the video? :)
nevermind hahaha
Are you guys going to release any merchandise soon?
On its way 👀👀
Awesome!
That T1 would be TERRIBLE!
I thought having a friend was free, at least in my world. Totally a deception. 😥
should have added **no purchase necessary** - Miguel will take any and all friends!
Get better soon... But really why is Miguel never invited to the weddings? First no friends, now no weddings? SHM.. lol
