I’m back Running!!

4 weeks ago I rolled my ankle while running the 2nd run in week 9 and although it was something I thought wouldn’t keep me out long, it’s taken ages to heal, however today I went on a run and managed to complete 5k, it took around 40 mins and was probably 25 mins running and 15 mins walking intervals, the most I could manage was about 8 mins straight running so I know I need to probably go back to about week 4/5 to get back on track, this is a bit gutting as before this happened I did get to complete a 30 min run non stop, however just to be back out there now is a huge buzz for me and can’t wait until Monday till my next run 👍🏻

Take it easy.

Always better to err on the side of caution when coming back from injury.

In the long term this will just seem like a minor blip in your running career.

Welcome back. Injuries come from time to time, and while they may push us backwards a little, we don’t lose anything in the long term... you’ll be back into week 9 before you know it.
