Returning to running

[Dhiny]

Tomorrow I will be going for my first proper run in a very long time. Me & the IC have known each other intimately but it is time to get out there & try a run before I look like the Michelin man lol It will be a slow, steady run - not decided which week to start from but I will decide in the morning & will write up how it went.

Happy running everyone xx

Welcome back.

Better to be slow and steady than fast and injured.

Take care.

Welcome back my friend...slow...steady,

And...enjoy!!!

Welcome back! I have also been on the IC for a considerable time since graduating due to meniscal tear and other knee issues, and restarted from the beginning in October. After 3 false starts (!), I have finally progressed past week 3 - this morning I did week 5 run 1.....

..slow...steady...(and carefully avoiding re-injury!)....

My absence from running has been due to left SI joint - it has been whinging for a very long time & as the whinging seems to stable, I thought I would try a very slow, gentle run. Well done on restarting 😁

Fingers crossed it goes ok!! 🤞

Great to read this... welcome back. Whatever run you do just love being back. Can’t wait to read the run report... enjoy the run.

Best of luck tomorrow. Enjoy the run, listen to your body and take it nice and slow. Can't wait to read how it went.

Hope it went ok. I have a bit of arthritis now post injury and find that my joints need 2 days in between to recover. If I try and force it, it takes longer in the end.

[Dhiny in reply to Lifluf]

I too have arthritis so have to work within my limitations. My run went well & I am looking forward to my next one 😁
