As anyone has to do after a layoff, you will have to go and find out what you can manage with a gentle jog with no predefined targets. That will give you enough information to formulate a plan.

a) Why? We won't stop talking to you, just because you cannot run. I am on the IC at present so if the others send us to Coventry, at least we can carry on talking.

b) You won't know until you follow the above exercise. No point worrying about it. I know a really good training plan for getting people running again.

c) Yes. You will have lost condition, but probably not nearly as much as you expect.

IannodaTruffe is the guru! Follow his lead and you won’t go wrong. πŸ‘ I’m recovering from a gardening injury myself - oh so frustrating, but gradually, gradually things do get better. Take care of yourself and get that dreaded illness under control, and meanwhile enjoy the good support on here. πŸ˜„ And never give up.
