So, after my triumphant return to running, my third run resulted in a very achey hip, and a slightly sore foot. So for run four off the IC I went back to week 1 run 1 of c25k. Much more manageable and foot was fine but hip still complaining ever since that third run. Return to the physio this morning, and thankfully she is still pleased with my progress, but thinks I need to build up still more strength on my right side, and I have lots of bad habits to unlearn. Lots of step lunges and balancing for me, yippee! But I will be running the week 1 run, once a week, until I'm more confident in my right side doing its stuff for me.
And the physio said, carry on running- only ... - Bridge to 10K
And the physio said, carry on running- only not so much π€
So pleased grumpyoldgirl that's brilliant news. One run per week is so much better than no running at all and you'll have your physio exercises to keep you busy. Good luck π€π
Slowly slowly π taking all the advice you get from your physio will not only restore but make you stronger!! Big hugs π€ & enjoy that one run. Xx
Thatβs good news, best of luck that you strengthen that right side and can run strong soon
Good luck grumpyoldgirl- good physios are worth their weight in gold.
Good to have a plan of action GoG, and I know those exercises in themselves are quite a workout!
Good luck with that strengthening, and enjoy those early runs again...I'm looking forward to doing them too. π xxx
Great that you can carry on and havenβt been sidelined. Make sure those shorter/less frequent runs are the most beautiful/enjoyable routes you can find π
Right with you! I think redoing C25K is the way to go. Perhaps day 3 of each week on alternate days? So 3 weeks to get back to complete? Wishing you all the best.
One run is better than none! Take it easyπ
Hi grumps! You are being really sensible and following instructions; I always follow physio advice to the letter...it helps them to help us. If people do their own thing the physio has no point to navigate from at the next consultation. This is all investment time with the dividend being fewer injuries in the future; but you get all of that, I know. π€
Well mine is my left hip so we could maybe run a 3 legged race?? I went to physio today and came away with a list of exercises AND I have been to Pilates tonight where my lovely Pilates teacher, Rachael, concentrated on strengthening exercises for myself and another lady who has a similar issue. Iβm going to be aching tomorrow but my physio said aching is good -hurting is not !! So itβs ok to ache!!π
You are sounding very sensible and youβre going to come back so strong Gog π
Good news
