Not allowed to run 🙁 this weekend

[jlw34]

So my last W7R2 was on Wednesday and R3 planned for tomorrow.

Visited the physio today for calf pain in my right leg ( I’ve been running through it). I have been given exercises and no running til Monday and then only if no pain. He think there may be a muscle tear.

Pleased I went because now it will hopefully improve but gutted I have to miss a run when I’m so close.

Shows that even those niggling pains are worth getting checked.

Apologies for the winge!!

Rest well and you’ll soon be out there again... I agree it’s worth getting checked out if pains persist.

Thank you. I will try and rest. I’m thinking a swim 🏊‍♀️ to keep my cardio fitness going.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to jlw34]

Swimming is a great way to exercise injuries without stressing them too 👍

I totally understand

I had to visit a physio after pulling a muscle in my back getting out of my car!

Had to take 8 weeks off running, with 6 weeks of physio.

So started C25K from scratch. I start W4 on Sunday 👍

Hope your recovery is quick

It sure is frustrating but hopefully I’ve caught it early enough to just mean a few days off. Good luck for Sunday 💪🏻

No worries.... you did the right thing... I had a minor muscle tear..I did the right thing and kept resting but the recurring twinge meant it was an issue.. so..if there is any pain when you run again...please... you stop !

Very well done and rest easy...the runs still wait for you !

Not a whinge at all..it happens to many of us and listening to our body is the right thing to do

Heal well x

Thanks Oldfloss it’s great having the support of like minded people 😊

Best to rest when you need to, even if it means delaying the running 🏃‍♀️

[steviej99 Graduate]

Frustrating for you but you did the right thing. Too many people think they can run through pain which eventually leads to worse

You'll be stronger when you start again

[jlw34 Graduate in reply to steviej99]

Thanks Stevie that’s what I’m hoping 🤞🏼

So frustrating for you.

Can I ask, was it painful whilst you were running?

[jlw34 Graduate in reply to SubterraneanAlien]

Yes but more so at the start of a run. It eased off whilst running but came but at the end of the run.

It’s frustrating but necessary for healing. Swimming sounds like a good idea. I hope you recover quickly 🙂
