Managed a 20 minute power walk without any problems so physio has given me the nod to gradually increase, starting with 10 min walk, 5 min run, 10 min walk.

My fitness has dropped off a bit as I felt a bit sick running at boot camp tonight, back to plodding. So the rough plan is

Rest tomorrow

W10r5w10 Thursday

Rest Friday

Walk 5R5 Walk5 R5 W 5 Saturday

Rest Sunday

Walk 5 run 10 walk 3 run 10 Monday and probably repeat this before doubling to 20 min run just to be sure.

Stick with 20 minute runs for 2 weeks, then increase to 30 minutes for two weeks before Race for Life.

How does that sound?
