A few aches and pains

Have recently completed the couchto5k. Really keen. Perhaps too keen. Tendonitis has restricted activity. Any advise on something to do during recovery time?

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

This guide to post C25K running may be helpful healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

All runners need good core strength, so working on that and any other general strengthening exercises will be beneficial to your running.

More to add about when you can start running again. When we’ve completed c25k we’ve run for a little over 8 hours. So even after a couple of months we’ve probably only added another 12 hours of running to that total - which means we are still prone to injury. When you can run again try the Japanese slow jogging technique- is low impact and designed to avoid injury. It’s great for building strength and stamina. Get strong running this way, and then if pace is important to you, you could do a lot of training at this slow pace (it’s what elite athletes do!), and work on pace about 20% of the time. Here’s to a speedy recovery!
