Itching to get back out there 🥺

[Leledange]

Hi all..

I had gotten so far up to monday with my c25k and absolutely loving it…

Had my gall bladder out on Tuesday, planned and knew it was coming but I’m so sad that I’m having to take a break 😩

Anyone else had anything similar and had to take a break? My surgeon said 4 weeks before I resume a jog/run!!! 4 weeks I could cry 🥺

I’m walking daily since 2 days post op and increasing bit by bit to still do something.

Feeling a bit low tbh-never thought I’d be itching to go for a run but I really am

Hello Leledange, I am sorry that you are currently not able to run, but you will find as has been said many times on these running forums, that the runs will be waiting for you. I am sorry that you are feeling a bit low but it is at least good that you are able to walk. Perhaps you can hunt out some interesting routes ready for when your running can begin again. I hope that you can also find some engrossing 4 week project that helps the time speed along. I had a bad fall last August and was on crutches and wore a leg brace, but now I am running again; time does pass.

Get well soon 💐💐💐

You'll lose very little condition in 2 weeks and after that loss is gradual, many people on here have restarted the programme several times after a break.

Listen to your surgeon who is best placed to advise when you can resume running. C25K will still be here when you are ready.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I was off running for 6 weeks with an ankle injury right when I was planning to start the program, about 3 weeks with calf strain in the middle of week 2, another 2 weeks off for calf strain around week 6 and finally took about 10 days off for a groin pull in week 9! Don’t worry about it, you will get there eventually. Allow yourself time to heal. If you are able to do other exercises (I was able to walk, hike, do low impact calisthenics, arm and ab exercises during many of my forced breaks from running) then do so. After each break I backed up a little and then kept going. It will be fine, there’s no hurry! I hope you have a quick recovery.
