Physio Gold Star

[sallenson]

Finished up my course of physio treatment and signed off with a gold star yesterday. As far as my hysio superstar concerned I'm not only now fixed but probably in better shape than I was even before the "niggle nightmare" started. So that's good.

I'm still putting in three sessions a week, haven't quite nailed Stepping Stone yet (way back from where I was a month ago), but I will. Ready to start to push my "long run" up beyond the 5K mark now. Stepping Stone will keep my happy for the other two sessions. I still hate Podrunner, but nothing's perfect....

Gently does it.

That is great news Sallenson, so pleased for you! Good luck on your longer runs journey 🏃😊

[Razouski]

Fantastic news sallenson and I'm sure you'll soon be getting your longer runs to 5k and beyond.

I hated Stepping Stones (and still do) as I found it really hard to stick to the prescribed pace, but I'm sure it will do you good.

Take it easy.

That’s brilliant news! The world’s your oyster! 👌🏽

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Did a stupidly slow 5.5K this morning. But everything felt good. No niggles. I have slow and steady tattooed to my leg...

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

I, on the contrary, have done nothing today 😳

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Good for you! Everyone needs the odd day off. I'm going to bake a cake later on

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

You said that on purpose because you know it’s my diet day off 🐽😂

[Empem Graduate10]

Brilliant to get the thumbs up from someone who really understands bodies and running.Your patience paid off.The physio I see walks on water as far as I'm concerned! Happy running.

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Empem]

Frankly I'd marry mine. He's been fantastic. And we get to talk about cars and dentists too

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

That's great news sallenson and good luck with increasing the pace.

Those physios really are magic aren't they? As long as you follow the recommendations that is😁

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

He's been great. He did say that the number of people to get the end end of a course of treatment properly is pretty small. Most of them don't do the work in-between times he reckons. I was reasonably disciplined, tho not a zealot. But it's paid off and I know what to do to keep the legs working properly now

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

That’s great news! 😀

Gently does it is exactly right. Rushing back to where you were upto before is on the “how to get injured” list! 😃

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

I know... I'll be good I promise

[Tbae]

Pleased to read this.

Your patience and physio has paid off.

Great news.

Atb going forward Stephen.

Congratulations 👍. Back to stepping stones! Better than medicine they are. Lovely music too 😁

It will make yearn for Led. Something to work towards methinks.

Rock n roll matey 💪👍

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

I did take The Lads out this morning. They were on good form. Better than mine, but I did have fun

[misswobble Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

I got three of their tracks crop up in succession today, which has never happened before! Lovely though and I had a blast, you know to clean out the old cylinders as it were. I always envisage Robert Plant at the mike when I hear this stuff. Ah happy days. Sigh

Took Black Sabbath and the Who out with me too. Go me!

I hope you're feeling strong and ready to get back into it. Carefully though o'course

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Fantastic news Sallenson! Better and stronger and in great shape for longer distances 😁👍

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

We're hoping so. The EJBs are pretty excited

[LoungeLizaard Graduate10]

EJBs at the ready tiger! Great news ❤️

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to LoungeLizaard]

Vroom. -ish. Or not. They're psyched tho

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10]

Good to hear sallenson ...

[Dizzysmum17 Graduate10]

Great news Stephen. So glad to hear this. 🏃‍♂️❤️

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Great to see you back again - now don’t overdo it! 🏃‍♂️👏

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

I promise xxx

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Great news..... onwards and upwards eh 😎

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Yeehaa

[Hidden]

Lovely to read that you’re back on track. You’ve motivated me to check out stepping stones again. 👍

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

First time I did in (I think) June it seemed pretty easy. In the interim with not so much running it feels a bit harder. (The Human Pretzel Walking thing at the beginning is still dumb tho.) I'm getting through it, but a couple of walk breaks. So "nailing" that one for one of my short runs is a fixture for the next couple of weeks.

[YoureDoingGreatPet Graduate10]

Glad to hear you’ve been cleared for take off. Just get back out there and enjoy yourself, everything else will fall into place 😉😎👍🏻

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to YoureDoingGreatPet]

You are a wise man Mik

[YoureDoingGreatPet Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

Which is quite surprising, because when I posted that I was quite drunk 🍻🤪

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Brilliant news Sallenson!! 😁😁❤️

[Ang33333]

Brilliant news!! 😁😁😁👟👟

[mountaindreamer Graduate10]

Brilliant news, Stephen! 😃🏃‍♂️❤️ We obviously all need an “Andrew the Physio” to improve us! 😂

Great that you can get back to building your distance up again now. I’m going through “Podrunner endurance training” at the moment to see how long I can keep listening to it! 😳 Keep trying to do 5ks with gradually increasing bpm steprates... (Reaching insanity before the optimum 180 steps per minute is currently looking fairly likely! 😂😂😂)

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

Hey there Stephen! You still about? Missing your posts - how are you? Thinking of you on my repair days and every time I see jelly babies in the supermarket 😁
