Off IC 🤞🤞

[Hareshaw-Granny]

Joined this forum a few months ago on a high after my 60 minute breakthrough. Since then fractured my toe , resulting in cuboid bone damage (non running). Whilst plussing up on cycling to keep up fitness and stamina, yes, of course I came a cropper on my bike. My left thigh took the hit and have been recovering for the last few weeks.

Anyway have now managed three shortish interval runs as a starting point. The last one I was accompanied by my 9 year old granddaughter who does a good Bambi impression and can run fast as only the young can!!! All went well and now feel good enough to restart with an aim of sometime next year reaching 10k.

Was kept buoyed up and positive by reading all the posts and exploits happening out there, quite an inspirational forum. Thanks to you all.

So glad you are in the road to recovery the IC is not a nice place to be. Sorry to hear that you came off your bike too. I am sure you will reach the 10k mark soon. Happy running x

Welcome back H-G, you have been in the wars as my granny would say, so glad you’ve recovered. Lovely to hear about your granddaughter ‘bambi-ing’ along with you, what a joy. Good luck for your 10k training 🤗

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, just so glad to be through it all, will just hope the fitness doesn't take too long to return.

Welcome back! Nobody wants to be on the IC but it can be a useful part of the overall learning experience for some.

Building up gradually is definitely the way to go. 👍

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10]

Thank you, hope to be back to a good level in a few weeks but will be slow and steady.👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Welcome back! 😁

Great to hear you're running again. Take your time and good luck for your next runs 🤞🍀

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thank you, let's hope that's the bad luck over.

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate10]

Ouch 🤕 You have been in the wars. Glad you’re finally back! Take it easy. I was only on the IC for 3 weeks and I’m still building back up to 30 mins (dodgy ankle). Hope it all goes without a hitch. Enjoy 🏃‍♀️

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Thank you so much. Taking it slow and steady.👍

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

So pleased to hear you're back out. Super slow and steady and build yourself back up and the IC will be a distant memory 😊

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

Thank you, that’s hopefully my plan, let’s just hope it works 🤞

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Pleased to know you are recovering and back out there running

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks W and S great to be back running. Even in the Scottish rain!! Will take me a while to get to your level. You’re both achieving great things.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

We don’t seem to be improving much but we enjoy what we do and today we had english rain and wind but it’s not cold yet here it’s going to be 16 degrees on friday my next day off

[Lookslikejames Graduate10]

Good to hear you’re recovering well, you’ll be back to where you were in no time

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate10 in reply to Lookslikejames]

Thank you very much. It’s so lovely to receive such nice replies from you and all the other great people on here. You’ve achieved great things since your 5k graduation, well done, hope it’s not too long till I get to 10k like you.

[Lookslikejames Graduate10 in reply to Hareshaw-Granny]

Thank you 😊 I’m going to take things steady now though. I’m pleased that I managed a 10 mile run but I’m going to build up to that again slowly. 5 and 10k’s are the most I will do for now. And I’m sure it won’t take you long to get to 10k once you’re fully recovered.
