C25K Reboot :-)

After 10 weeks off recovering with Achillies tendinosis I got the all clear to start running again. So Went in at W2D1 and apart from a bit of tightness in right thigh and calf (post run stretching sorted that) everything went really well. While I have been off I have done lots of road cycling which has increased my fitness levels and also helped the weight drop off (about 10Kg). If thinks are ok at end of week 2 I will go get gait analysis done.

I hope so to. The cycling certainly helped and didnt find the running as arduous as the last time, but need to take it steady all the same.

Well done for getting back out there again, and for the weight loss. Keep up with the stretching as it really helps with the tightness.

Well done for getting back out again, but more well done for substituting cycling while you were sidelined.
