After getting to W4 run 3 in the summer, my progress came to a halt with a couple of niggles then winter set in and the motivation and gremlins took hold with a vengeance!
Anyway, getting up to date (ish), I walked to pick my daughter up from school and as we were walking home (me holding everything) I fell down heavily on my knees, much to my embarrassment!
I did not go and get medical advice, thinking it was just bruising for nearly 2 weeks then went to a walk in centre where they diagnosed tendon problems. My work OH physic confirmed this too.
She told me I can't run on it for up to 6 months which is so frustrating as I was wanting to start the running again.
Any ideas what exercise I can do? My physio said cycling may be ok.
I would like to start at a gym too (hubby allowing!)
Spin classes are great & what runners do when they can't run for whatever reason.... It's hard I won't lie & ure bum wil be sore 😁-but it will help u build ure fitness up!
If you don't have much pain on walking , you can do fast walking for a few weeks. It's much kinder on the knees and can be surprisingly rewarding. Do let me know what tendon issues are they . Might be that recovery is much faster. (I am an A&E doctor) . Also you can use knee supports for walking and improve on the knee strain while walking. Keep exercising though and get well soon!
