Wk1r1 & I won't lie found it tougher than anticipated

[Rockette]

Who would have thought it , 9 wks abstinence I Know but I had a shock , I have lost quite a bit of my fitness . I had about 3k fast walk before it with dog then left him at home ( coz he's a pest weeing all the time & sniffing ) lol . Did the old stretches & I was off . Lovely day for it I may add . Anyway I thought I don't really need to start at the beginning again , but oh yes Ido ! Anyway I completed it , not as easy as I thought it would be , the ankle not so much as a twinge out of it I'm glad to say , but the buttocks ached a bit , but it was exactly like that before when I started c25k . Anyway folks I'm back & this time I'm not rushing it , I'm having 2 rest days for yoga & cycling & it's onwards & upwards .

The muscle memory will return I am sure, but you know as well as any of us, that it is best to not push too hard. Time will get you back there, Rockette. Good luck. Keep running,keep smiling.

Well done - take it easy. You have done it before and that fitness will quickly come back

[notbad Graduate]

Yes the first few runs back in after injury time out are hard, go easy on yourself Rockette and it will come back gradually. Glad the ankle didn't protest, that's a good sign.

Excellent that you are back after a break- take it easy x

[Jenwrenarm Graduate]

Great that the ankle held out matey. Big sighs of relief all round. Softly, softly catchy monkey! You'll get there. I'm just so glad you're still going!

Good to hear you made it back safely. I bet you were a bit tentative at first though.

I bet you can't wait to do it again.

Glad you back Remember slow and steady - you know Laura is right. I think it takes more guts to get back out there after injury so well done you Take care

[lizziebeth57 Graduate]

I bet in two or three weeks you will be in a very different place but however long it takes to get back up to speed.... you're back

[iwillbefit Graduate]

Well done you! Knowing you've already done this will be such a help. Have fun!

[OldNed Graduate]

Well done; good to see you back.

[nextjenn Graduate]

Welcome back. Your body will adjust much quicker. You are doing the sensible thing, and that will pay off but you are back and running again - which is amazing!

[Rockette]

Thanks everyone for all your support
