Recovery

[Instructor57]

So, it has been 8 days now since I completed my last run (week 8 run 1)

I'm still not ready to run again yet but It is certainly getting slowly better .

I have bought some resistance bands and will do some excersises in preparation.

There are some very good YouTube videos with excercises to help with a piriformis injury, although this is not yet diagnosed, it certainly feels like that is the problem.

So, a few more days , then an Osteopath appointment on Thursday and then fingers crossed ! 🤞

Definitely fingers crossed for you! I tried to cross my toes as well, but that just feels horrible 😂😂😂. Good idea about the resistance bands.

Fingers crossed mate, you’ll be back at it sooner than you know. I’ll applaud you on your determination, a true runner is someone that falls, and then gets back up again no matter how many times something pushes you back down. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Good luck with the resistance bands.

Last time I tried a workout those I knackered my glutes... They are buggers...

I've been having what can only be described as tailbone pain since working at home. Health and safety in work sent me a cocyx wedge. It's a bit weird to sit on all day but does seem to help.

Hope you are back up on your feet soon

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

I like the James dunne excercises you mentioned in YouTube 👍
