Saying a sad farewell to running

[Inominate]

Thank you so much for all the support you guys gave me during my couch to 5k and beyond running days. It has been great. Unfortunately I developed bursitis/tendonitis in my right hip. Physio , scans and the rest showed that my right femur is a bit twisted and imbalanced. I've done Physio everyday since May to compensate but i am advised I will not be able to do more than a light jog. It has made me do more whole body exercise, and am enjoying the variety. Rowing, cycling (bum on seat) and swimming (crawl, once I have master it) will be the cardio I can do. I was really sad I could no longer run but am thinking positively about new ways to exercise and I am thankful for health and opportunity for new experiences. Enjoy and cherish your running days everyone and happy new year!

So sorry you've had all that to go through....Glad you've found other exercise that you can enjoy other than running. Good luck with everything that you do it 2018.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I admire your positive approach to finding other ways to be fit and healthy.

I enjoy cycling too - I hope you have a bike with plenty of "twiddly gears" to keep your hip happy & backside on saddle.

Good luck with all your varied exercise & all the best for 2018. 😃

Hi there as Oldfloss has said I have made sure we have a walking group because I am aware that not everyone can run and my aim is to make sure that you still feel supported with your exercise, please come over to the Active 10 and we I’ll keep you going.
