Physio has said I can make a gentle start next week, speaking to Coach Alexa from virtual running club next week to sort out my plan, I have really missed my runs and now have to lose the stone I’ve gained on the IC!

Great! 👍👍👍

Have a look at the sort of gradual progression in runs I've been doing to get back into things.

I started with a series of walks, then initial runs with 20s run/40s walk intervals and worked up to the point I could rejoin C25K with a shortened week 4 last week.

You might not need to have such a gentle start, but it might give you a few ideas.

I will build on what you did, I did some coastal walks at the weekend, very hilly and just felt a little achy but no return of the pain in my hip that has been treated so hoping to build in some short runs this week. I have to discipline myself to build up slowly.

Did the physio give you any recommendations on what you should do when you started running again?

He said leave a week after final ultrasound then no more than 1 mile running within a 30 minute session. As I run quite slowly that works out at about running /walking in equal amounts so I think I will start with perhaps 1 minute of each and see how I get on. it’s been 12 weeks of treatment so don’t want to undo the work I’ve also gained a stone so working on that too!!!

Welcome back Phdgranny. Take it slow and steady and I'm sure you'll soon be back to your normal running speed and distance.
