Starting again

22 Replies

I started this programme 2 years ago and got completely hooked! One of my proudest achievements was completing my first 5k then working up to 10K by the (very hot) summer.

A change of circumstances followed by a foot injury (Morton’s neuroma) stopped me running last Spring and now I’m very unfit but determined to try again. Just hope my feet don’t let me down! 🦶🦶🙏

Welcome back and all the best. I have a slightly dodgy foot & can heartily recommend Oldfloss’ foot exercises over on Strength & Flex!

Thankyou! I’ve already had a go at some of the exercises - I’m going to be much more attentive to strength and flex this time round!

I’m rerunning too after a foot injury. There’s a few of us at the moment who are climbing off the IC and getting back on the C25k bandwagon! Good luck and enjoy 😊

Good luck with starting again post foot injury, you can do this 👍 I did C25K in 2016 and then never ran again 🤷‍♀️ Life and all that but I do intend to get out there and start over 🏃‍♀️
