After 6 months not being able to run, the lovely physio says I can make a gentle start... so... W1 hello again, (again, again)....
Legs: What ARE you expecting us to do?
Lungs: Puff, pant, could we really ever do this??
Brain: Happy, happy, happy, (cautious, gentle) happy, happy!! 😃
I managed not to hug the lovely physio ( he is a couple of decades younger than me, it might have been unnerving for him 😂) but I think he noticed the mile wide cheesy grin!! 😄
Brilliant news for you. Wonderful. Happy c25k again : )
Thank you - wonderful is exactly right! 😀
Magic ! Welcome back !
Thank you- so excited! How are you doing? 😃
Graduated in February, but haven’t done much running since. I’m working hard to get into regular exercise - walking and the Strength and Flex podcasts - and to shift some of Ethel ! Looking forward to another go at C25k once I’m a bit lighter 😄
Oh bless you. Best of wishes for getting going again. 😃
Thanks Elfe. I’ll keep you all posted. 😄
Welcome home and back to running. That run must have felt so good... if I’m out a week that first run is amazing! I’d have hugged him myself 🤣
Enjoy your journey back.
Oh thank you- “welcome home” - is exactly right! Yes, (for my brain at least) it felt so amazing I was nearly levitating! 😄
Good that the brain is on it... those legs will soon remember.
Completely empathise..including the wanting to hug the Physio'.
Well done you..slow and steady..as am I doing!
Hi lovely Flossie, yes “slow & steady” is the only way- not that my legs are offering anything else. How are you doing? Sounds like also recovering? Xx
I am good..just off the IC with a Tibial posterior injury..torn tendon in the foot! Got the all clear from my physio' last Saturday for a really slow and steady return...:). And no speed work for at least 12 months but that suits me....good to see you off the IC too x
Great you have the go ahead to get back running. Good luck 😊😊
Good luck with your journey back!!
Yay! So glad to hear it! Welcome back and congrats on managing to not hug your physio. That took some serious self control!
Oh thank you! 😄 Yes it was a very close run thing. 😂
That’s brilliant news Elfe and I can safely say I know how you feel. I had 6 moths on the IC too and felt similarly about my physio when she said the magic words, ‘you can try a little run’. I’m still seeing the physio and still managing the injury which loves nothing better than to niggle in a different place every time but I’ll be out for Wk 8 run 2 tomorrow. I’ve taken things even slower this time and am definitely feeling the benefit. I wish you the very best of luck out there on your journey back, it’s just as amazing the second time round. 💪🏃🏻♀️🤞
Good luck, let us know how you get on, I had to stop as broke my wrist and too painful when running so started again last week, was so out of breath and thought I was going to die!! Suddenly I found I was doing really well and I am so loving this programme and this site it's fantastic!! I think whoever invented it should be knighted.....
Enjoy I've now on wk 2 and excited
Thank you! 😃 I’m pleased you are recovering and back to your running. I was a bit shocked at how tough W1R1 was too - so extra slow and steady is the way methinks! 😀
I know that feeling well Elfe5 😁. I did hug my physio when she said the magic yes word 😂😂😂 and she didn’t mind at all. Slow and steady does it though. Good luck 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Congratulations. You are an inspiration.
I am sitting in bed looking at the forest, unable to run because of a fractured arm, feeling sorry for myself.
You have given me hope that I will run again.
Pace yourself and enjoy. 🤗
Oh, hugs winging to you- how frustrating. Your arm will mend and you will run. 😀 One of my friends got the “ok” from her dr about a month after a fracture - but it also depends how sore the jogging along makes it of course. Best wishes for excellent healing.
I am guessing from your name that you are also a keen gardener? I broke my wrist a few years ago – I well remember the one handed gardening. Hmmm...
Thanks for your encouragement. Yes gardening is mypassion. I am also a massage therapist so everything is on hold. 😢
Sounds like it’s the time for sipping cool drinks in your lovely garden & a total ban on seeing weeds! 😄
... Also for favourite books, movies, borrowing box sets, Desert Island Discs ( over 2,000 to choose from!) ... and a modest amount of cheering chocolate?? You will mend, garden, massage & run soon.
(I broke a wrist a few years ago- I seem to remember everything began to feel better by about week three.) 😘
Whoop whoop! That’s fabulously happy news Elfe 🤗🤗 I’m chuffed for you. You’ve been so patient and yet so supportive to folks here, it must have been hard at times.
But you’re back! Happy days 🤗
Yes indeed, many happy whoops! 😂 Hope you are ok? Xx
All is good here Elfe, a tad too hot for me for a run but hopefully will get out tomorrow as it's supposed to be cooler x
Yes, a cooling breeze rushing by on a bike is kinder on a hot day. Happy running tomorrow. Xx
Well done😊Elfe5 bet you were so chuffed at end of run👍. Im so jealous as desperate to get back to running i tore my achillea tendons so waiting on physio appointment but hard enough walkig but missing running what is it they say I SHALL RETURN 😂again !! Missing the group too!! 😢good luck & take it easy!!! & hope to catch you up soon😊x
Brilliant news to get back into it and you are in a really good position to tell those demons to do one! You've already done it 😊
Fish, chips and mushy peas!
Hello all - 71 years old and hoping to run!
