Everything in NYC is still closed. Back to basics, sprints and body weight. Love the city and I love grinding it out with the bare minimum of equipment. Work is work.

It's five weeks of rehab for Adrian Ben.
View this post on Instagram

Hoy ha sido un día duro. No en cuanto a esfuerzo, si no más bien en cuanto a emociones. • Tras varias semanas entrenando con una molestia en el muslo izquierdo decidí hacer una resonancia para ver que ocurría. • El resultado muestra un edema óseo en el fémur, que me tendrá cinco semanas sin correr. Desde hoy comienzo mi rehabilitación junto a Rubén en Fisioterapia Baltar, para no perder ni un momento, porque si no puedo correr trabajaré más duro que nunca para mejorar en otros aspectos□□ • Muchos os preguntareis porqué una foto feliz ante esta noticia mala... Pues porque así es como lo afronto, de la mejor manera posible y como una nueva experiencia para seguir creciendo como deportista y como persona□□ • Muchas gracias a todos por vuestros ánimos, nos vemos muy prontito□ #masfuertesquenunca #teamnike ##teambarça
