Good to hear that you’re pain free. You’ve been away from running for less than two weeks, and so shouldn’t have lost any fitness. So, in theory it’s W6R2. Go out nice and gently to test the thigh under running impacts and if it doesn’t react at all, keep going nice and slowly. If for any reason you can’t fully complete the run, you will have an indication of how much you can comfortably do right now.
