Had a crash and now have a small fracture in the lower hand and a plaster cast. Doctor prescribed it for 3 weeks. It is the 8th day without cycling and I‘m going up the walls. What can I do to prevent detraining except doing long walks? I trained over 10h/week and don‘t want to loose my progress I made this summer (2nd full training year). The only thing preventing me from going on a long run is the fear of the sweat destroying the cast or the smell afterwards. Only good thing is the last session where the accident happened was an 13h ride and I needed recovery anyway. What are my options? Should I try small runs (5k) when it is cold outside (10-14 degrees)? ChatGPT suggested swimming, lol.
