Stuck on Repeat

Unfortunately my kidney problems recurred yet again three weeks ago. Resulted in a small op and a week in hospital. Just beginning to run again but having to repeat week 4 as fitness has suffered.

Beginning to feel like a never ending cycle.

You can only do what you can don't worry. Did they remove your kidney stones yet 😊

Don't know if this is any use to you but I had 3 kidney stones years ago and the procedure I got was called Lithotripsy, I had 2 goes and I never had any trouble again 😊

Yes, I’m on the waiting list for this. I have stones in both kidneys though and they have to be treated separately.

I am sorry to hear that, take it nice and steady in your recovery. I know it must feel your not progressing but I promise you even if you stayed at week 1 Run 1 for a year, your fitness levels would improve so much. So even if you have to repeat weeks you are still progressing. Look after yourself. Rfc x

Oh Scarlet that’s such a shame but when you get back into it, as hopefully you will before too long, I’m sure all your runs will help with your progression - certainly more than if you weren’t doing anything! All the best for a speedy recovery!
