Break after a fall

[vivianna]

I fell over, quite hard onto my knees, 5 weeks ago, causing pain in my knees.

I'm now ready to start running again, but I had previously got as far as W5R2. I was just about to do the 20 minute run. Obviously I can't just pick up where I left off, anyone have any idea as to how far back in the programme I might have to go?

Try W4R1 just to get an idea?? You could always go back further IF it doesn’t work out? 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I agree with Lillybeth, try W4R1 - your body doesn't forget that fast. It's more doubt than anything else that gets us worried after a couple of weeks away. Whatever you do will be good for you.

It is a matter of suck it and see............only you will know how much fitness you have lost when you get back.

Head out.. try an Irishprincess jogette, and see how it feels treat it like a dress rehearsal

I think you will be fine... and I am glad you are not too badly hurt... ( I had an argument with a large Fern and a wheelbarrow on Saturday... lots of wonderful bruises, all down one side

Thanks everyone! I went for an Irish princess jogette, after all I am one! W3R1, which turned out to be the right choice. I really haven't been able to do much for 5 weeks. It felt ok at the time, but I feel a lot better now - and I'll only have lost a couple of months overall I suppose.

Oldfloss, sorry to hear about your fall, sounds ouchie!
