I’m back 🏃‍♀️😎

So the doctor said 4-6 weeks rest due to my LCL sprain, but I’m stubborn and know my body and I had no pain in my knee for a few days! So I went for a run this morning with my knee support on , wasn’t my best time, but I’m back & it feels good .

Happy Tuesday peeps 😊 #c25k

Well done !So how long DID you rest ?

It sounds like a case of "too much too soon" to me.

Looking at your previous posts, you've gone straight from 25 minutes to 40 minutes (and 5km).

Week 8 is 28 minutes maximum.

Ligament sprains take a long time to heal, and you need to ease back in gradually after one.

This time last year I was a victim of "too much too soon" and spent the whole of September recovering from a bad ankle sprain.

#nopainnogain is a bodybuilding/aerobics thing… for runners it’s not a good mantra

Hope you are over the issue and have not returned too early… take it easy, build slowly, happy running.

As long as you had no pain at all because running on a painful injury can make it chronic! But if you felt pain free go for it! Love the bounce back! I’m in a similar position with my hip! Running is blood sport 🤣
