jss this was really good to read. I used to run every day (only 30 mins to 1 hour), and it made me feel great. I cant stand the gym. I suppose running is engaging with environment and I like that. However, while I could run now (with 3 crook cervical), I have become nervous about the impact.
Your points on the snorkel free swims were important, and a good warning, but I did muse that the day I swim 2000 metres, will be the day they have inserted a full bionic implant into my brain!! How do you do that? Anyway, its worth noting, that going by your experience fitness is back on the table after ADR. Thats the take away message for me and I cant wait.
This time next week I will be arriving in Dusseldorf, and the following day meeting Dr Bierdstedt.
