Broken foot...AAHH!!!!

[Cairnsjogger]

I completed C25K about two months ago and have been going well, really enjoying something I thought I wouldn't, until now! I had an accident at work (I'm a postie) and crushed my foot under the postie bike - Spiral fracture of the 2nd metatarsal of my left foot. Needless to say I cant do any running for at least 6 weeks. At what point should I be looking at recommencing my C25K journey.

Broken bones and running 😬, I'd most definitely recommend popping to the drs and getting checked before looking at running again, bones and feet are so fragile get yourself checked 👍

That is tough.You need to be pain free before recommencing and preferably after being given the okay to run by a medic.

All any of us can do after a lay off is to go out for a gentle run and see what we can comfortably manage, then use C25k or something similar to rebuild stamina and resistance to injury.

Take care and I wish you a quick recovery.
