Just about ready to go

Gait analysis - check

New trainers - check

Foam roller - check

Resistance band - check

Plan - check(ish)...I'm thinking of starting from week 1 of c25k, maybe do each run just once until I feel challenged then repeat the runs once or twice until I'm back to running 30 minutes. Who am I kidding, I'll probably feel challenged by the second week 😂

Is this a sensible approach? Can you give me any guidance for a gentle start after the sprained ankle ligament?

By the way I was most impressed by the gait analysis. I tried 3 different trainers after the treadmill - ASICS, Saucony and Mizuno. Mizuno just felt wrong, couldn't decide between the other two, back on the treadmill which showed the ASICS were doing a better job correcting my slight overpronation. No hard selling, just lots of good advice. I'll definitely go back. Am I allowed to recommend them by name?

Sounds like a good solid plan to me 😁👍

Slow, steady, listen to your body...it will tell you exactly what to do Well done you!

My body isn’t very good at advice unless it’s have a nap, eat some chocolate or run as fast as you can, this is why I have to have a plan 😂😂

[Oldfloss Administrator 60minGraduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

As long as you listen when it shouts...steady as you go..you'll be okay 👍

Nice new trainers, starting again is a good idea, it will give you time to build up and keep you steady, or NRC has a few guided 20 minute runs and he reminds you to run easy through them. Have fun, 30 minutes isn’t compulsory, you could always jeff it

[Yesletsgo Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thanks, I love NRC but am going to do a few more short runs with physio exercises in between before I do anything challenging. Don’t want another month with my feet up.

No you certainly don’t, enjoy

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

I don’t see why you shouldn’t name them if you’ve had great service. 👍 Good luck on your run. I think your approach is a solid one as you’re coming back from injury. I can’t see any harm in taking that approach. Nice shoes by the way 👍

Take your time and don’t push yourself. As long as you take note of how you are feeling and adjust as necessary, you should be fine. 😊

[Yesletsgo Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I took it very easy and feel great now!

If you’re near Southend on Sea, Runners Edge was the place I went to. I’m in the wilds so this was one of the nearest places, only an hour away lol, a small family run firm. Really made me feel like a proper runner! 😁
