Chuffed!

I have had to rest for the last 7 weeks because of a stress fracture (Dr. Google) and have an undiagnosed back problem so I took the plunge today and started week 4 again. No issues from my shin and my back is no worse so I’m going to keep going and hope I get back to deserving my “graduate” badge soon!

I’ve had some injury issues too and struggled to get ‘back on the wagon’ after rest and recovery. After 7 weeks off did you start again at week 1 or pick up where you left off?

I was very nervous but luckily we have a treadmill so I decided to start at week 4 and see how everything felt. I managed to complete the session so I would recommend that. If you struggle then maybe work your way backwards. Good luck.
