I'm back after injury

[Popey52]

I'm back, graduated six months ago and was really enjoying running again after years of sitting on my backside, my knees swelled and I gave up, but I'm going again but going to take more rest between runs this time...

Welcome back and happy running. Rest is as important as the running. Balance is the key.

Great you're back running. Hope your knees are better. Are you ready to do it all again. Good luck 😊

[Popey52 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Yes I'm ready for a 2nd go, I think I tried to much too soon last time... I'm going to take two days rest instead of the one day this time and hopefully my knees will hold up... thanks for your reply

Great to have a plan in place 😊

Great news and thank you as it gives me hope. Have had to stop due to knee pain and swelling after reaching week 6. Daily think about when I can get going again. Physio starts in a week then an mri.....

Welcome back, sounds like a sensible move taking extra rest days as and when you need them.

Good luck and enjoy 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍
