Running after injury

[Running59]

As everyone knows on here I’ve been out of running for about a Month. Three weeks ago I started running again but, only running once a week. My goal when I started back, to only run 3K. I did this for a couple of weeks. I felt I was ready to increase my distance to 4K and increase my running to twice a week, at the same time listening to my body, and if necessary reduce the distance or revert back to once a week. This morning I ran my first 4K in over a month. My body felt good and no pain. What I will do now is ice it and keep monitoring.

Icing your whole body is not a good idea!!

Well done on steady progress.

Welcome back to running. Sounds like you’re almost back up there.

[Running59 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I think in another couple of weeks I should be running 5K or near it. 😊

Well done you that’s a great turnaround after a big break. You must be relieved!

[Running59 in reply to AngryFlower]

I am, I was worried I had lost my fitness, but it seems not. I’m relieved I can still run
