Hiiiii yโ€™all, so itโ€™s been 2 months since Iโ€™ve run and the physio has finally given me the ok to start running again!! ๐Ÿ˜

Iโ€™ve decided to start over right back at the beginning of the programme so I can build up the strength in the tendons around my hip and build up my general stamina!

I cannot tell you how excited I am ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿค— whoo hoo xx

Yes still running 3 times a week up to 10k but think thatโ€™s my limit now. Slow in this heat after all my moaning about the snow. Youโ€™ll be glad to get back out there I bet you donโ€™t need to start from week 1 though but youโ€™ll be cautious maybe the best way. Good luck ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thatโ€™s fantastic! I can barely walk in this heat let alone run so hats off to you ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป youโ€™re right about being cautious but Iโ€™m excited to go for it. Maybe when itโ€™s a bit cooler though!!

Are you restarting the 10K plan or C25k?

Catbee profile image
CatbeeGraduate in reply to Ripcurlrana71

Right back to week 1 run 1 c25k on the advice of the physio... small chunks to start with so the gentle lead in will be perfect. And itโ€™ll help with any anxiety I have about re-injuring myself!!
