!After fracturing my neck of femur at the Brighton marathon in April. It took 3 months for nhs to take my pain seriously and finally get an X-ray to diagnosis the significant fracture and straight in for surgery ! Finally healed and signed off by my physio and told I can now start running! I’m excited but also very scared as I’ve never been this unfit before it’s more daunting them doing my first Ironman 2 years ago how is that possible !!

C25K is a brilliantly structured and gentle way to get back into running without pushing too hard.
It works.
Enjoy your journey.
Snap...literally. I had a stress fracture of my pelvis 1 month after my first ever marathon in April 18 ( started c2 5k nov 17 as non runner). Also flare of a chronic illness with several hospital stays.
I was finally told by orthopaedic consultant I could start running end November....but start with c2 5k to make sure it doesn’t refracture.
I seem to have lost all my fitness and it really is starting again. I keep reminding myself I’ve done it once and can do it again. I hope so. I just did week 4 run 1....😳. How the chuff I ever did this before I have no idea!!
Onwards and upwards.
