Some Antibiotics May Cause Injuries

If your sick you have good reasons to rest up and heal. Some antibiotics can cause musculoskeletal injuries. Here's some guidelines:
Training routines should be reduced in intensity and volume once antibiotics are started. A graduated return to full activity should be implemented so long as you remain asymptomatic after the antibiotic course is finished.
All athletic activity should be stopped if any adverse reactions are experienced.
You should monitor yourself for 1 month after completion of antibiotics.

Barefoot African Running

Barefoot African Running

I tried this style of running but with shoes because it lessens impact on the body's joints. In fact theres almost no impact. Our bodies only uses 7% more energy standing than sitting. But the impact force from running can be many times our body weight. The body's natural efficiency can be translated to running when we do it the right way.

This is antidotal but here's what I personally found:
-no knee pain! Usually every time I run afterwards I suffer from painful knees for about one day. After changing my style, no knee pain at all. But I did get a better calf workout.
-no exhaustion! I ran two days in a row and participated in two high intensity classes. I experienced no exhaustion on my second day. I could have doubled my time.

BAR Running styles, (different from bar hopping) emphasizes landing on the ball of the foot or center forward area.
