I am a further week through this non running period.Hoping for more repair by the 28/02/19 and when I revisit the physio.
I think I may have to commence from one minute walk, one minute run.But it will be a huge relief if I can even build up again from there.Weird stuff when you lose your foundation, hip pain etc.
I feel I have worked so hard to achieve the little gains I have made.But really hope my running is not going to end here.
I have been finding some comfort from reading Fast 800.This is the finest piece of work I have read in sometime.This approved and endorsed piece work by our NHS and written by Michael Mosley is just a gift.Here is the latest tried and tested research by world leading authorities and presented in such a simple, considerate, non technical way to allow anyone to take from it what they need.It is worth a read whether you intend to lose weight or otherwise.
Now that I have read the book I am very surprised by the comments read in other references to it.
I have been very busy with setting up and hopefully growing our independent green gym group.
We are 9 weeks along the independence path,have issued our exercise inventory and guide lines to formulate exercise sessions, who we are and how we operate, a group plan including the intended formation of a C25k sub group.It’s busy.
My ankle is frustrating however, because I am curtailed from my own personal enjoyment and programme but also being able to lead the green gym group from the front.
Hopefully a few more weeks will give me a clearer picture.
All is not lost as HIIT on a static bike and Fast 800 can open other doors if my running journey must end.The Fast 800 even addresses arthritic conditions and so, so much more.Unbelievable research and connecting benefits.
I have read so many gifts on HealthUnlocked and this latest piece of work Fast 800 is right alongside it.

Oh Tbae, I commend your attitude so much, and really hope this is not the end of your running career.
Resting up and following the medical advice you have been given to the letter is exactly the right thing to do, but I see how frustrating this must be...
Green gym is obviously successful and you are partly responsible for this I'm sure. You are supportive and enthusiastic about all health and fitness issues and it shows.
Keep posting and sharing on Strava, we all really want to see you back in your running shoes as soon as you are able.
Building back up from one minute run/walk is sensible and many forum members have done just that.
Good luck to you Tbae, you are doing the sensible thing by just taking things easy, hopefully, you will get back to running once everything heals up, some who have had been off running for a long time rerun the whole of the C25K program.
Thanks Tbae, I am feeling all good, I have just returned from a 7 km walk near Mugdock, Milngavie, way back in the 1950's there was a small zoo, now long gone, it is now Mugdock Country Park.
Hiya Tbae I love that you always find the positives and what an inspiration you continue to be for us all. You’re right all is not lost you’ve already got HIIT, bike, fast and 800 all in one sentence! Keep the faith because we will in you and remember Injury makes the comeback sweeter.
Thank you so much Tbae, yes I’m feeling a lot happier now. The granddaughter is holding her own, she gets very tired, but too much too soon I think. Michael Mosley was in NZ last month, might have a look at his book when I’m next in the bookshop. It takes so much longer browsing there these days, this magic forum as you quite rightly call it, has certainly opened the mind. 🤓
Your responses have given me a renewed determination and I thank you.You have made me take stock and appreciate this magic forum.
I implore anyone on this forum to read Fast 800.Not for weight loss reasons.
The very act of fasting has so many benefits, combating dementia, diabetes, arthritis,asthma,complimentary with chemotherapy and so much more.
I am not a medic, just someone with an open mind and ready to do battle with Father Time. Presented in this little paperback, Fast800, is the state of the art, cutting edge research and put in lay everyday understandable language.I am simply looking for some tools of hope.
This is a gift, not just about losing weight, but understanding how we can take care of ourselves and how to do it.
Thank you for enabling me to give myself a kick and crack on.
Hi tbae, what a wonderful idea the green gym is, sounds like it's keeping you too busy to brood on the state of your ankle for long. I hated being on the couch because I had only just discovered how to be a runner, but now I'm getting out there slowly and sensibly. Hopefully you will be able to do the same.
I really sat up at the mention of Michaels Mosley's book and arthritis, because I'm getting the first signs now, so I'm off to look at that. Thank you for your inspiring and thought-provoking posts🌱🌳 to help your green gym along 😊
Thanks GOG, I too am a very new and novice runner.So lots to learn.
Yes do get the book.The act of fasting, and there are options to tailor to each individual in the book, it triggers repair mechanisms in our amazing bodies..

Just over 6km, make that 7, go for 7.5, an extra hill and that makes 8!
Best 5k time so far - and my own version of fartlek
