Injury

[Kneejerker]

Hi JoJo

Injury to Achilles has stopped me running for 2 weeks Still not able to run.

Won’t be able to start Magic plan until fully recovered.

May well have to start at very low level to begin with

Perhaps starting C25K again from the beginning.

Any tips would be welcome.

Thanks

People with Achilles injuries benefit from higher drop shoes. Gel heel cups are a cheap aid too.

Thanks . Will try to . Though like Mr Pastry ,I have a tendency to be accidental prone.

( You are probably too young to have heard of Mr Pastry. He was a comical character on children’s BBC in the old days..... the very old days!)

I’m blown over by wonderful support and helpful advice from the HealthUnlocked community.

Hope all well and you are enjoying injury free. running

I am so sorry, and as I said on the Magic post, eccentric heel drops health. This is some great advice, but mindful I dont know the nature of your injury, so please seek professional help: ouh.nhs.uk/patient-guide/le...
