Back to C25K (on the treadmill)

[Bazza1234]

Apart from my foot, I could start a half marathon training plan tomorrow - but I do have the foot. I will have it x-rayed again in two weeks time - week 21 since the fracture and am expecting it to be still showing signs of non-union. Clinically, the Dr will call it healed - because it is practically pain free and I can do almost anything normal with it (running 5K isn't normal!) . I have done a few 30sec/30sec run/walks over the past week - 2x20 minutes and 1x30 minutes. On all occasions I was able to run without pain but felt discomfort/weird sensations on the next day - a weird kind of "tissue" pain, a bit like when you have a half healed gravel rash and you try to pull off a scab that is just hanging on - or get a paper cut . I did trial out the treadmill at the gym yesterday for 10 minutes non-stop. It was a very slow pace which set my heart rate at an easy 120BPM - but it felt good and seems to have caused no problems. So I am now thinking that I will redo C25k right from the start next week at the gym on the treadmill. I have some videos which run through various iconic Aussie runs while doing each week of C25K - that should take some of the D out of Dreadmill!

Sounds like a plan, and a good one at that.

Best of luck with your plan Bazza, sounds sensible and you will soon know if your foot is healed or not.

I found hope your foot is now truly mended and you can carry on where you left off

Good luck with the return to running 💪👍🏃✔️🙂

Good luck with it Bazza. And the treadmill is good for you - less impact, so more gentle and therefore better for your foot.

if we want to see a man with a plan, we always look to you, Bazza.

Great idea.

Love it when a plan comes together - this one is too good not to.

Best wishes for your return.
