W4R2 and physio update

After umming and ahhing about whether I should run this morning or wait to see how my physio appt went, I decided to go. Aspire24 had suggested that I try a flat road run rather than my usual trail, so that’s what I did. Fortunately I have some normal running shoes albeit Skechers GOrun, so off I went.....and it was great! My Achilles felt pretty much the same as before I went out, so 👍 and many thanks Aspire24.

Physio this afternoon was also as successful as it can be. Things progressing, some painful massage, some ultrasound, and advised not to run more than twice a week for the time being, returning in a fortnight.

So all good at the mo. Happy running folks 🏃‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️😁

That’s great news!! And they have given you guidance as to how much and how often etc. Mentally too it’s a challenge to even set off so well done you 👏. I was going to run today but my tendon was not feeling great so will see tomorrow. Anyway it’s lovely to hear you running again 🤗

Fantastic you are able to get out and run and pain free 🤗. Just take it easy. The strength work is definitely something that will help. I'm trying to do that too, but don't enjoy it very much 💪! Enjoy your road to recovery. 🏃‍♀️
