Evening all, so I’m week 8 run 2 down.I have Ran my warm down walks this week too so have actually ran for 32 mins. I will be doing week 3 run this Wednesday BUT - then due to have revised FESS surgery on my sinuses on Thursday. I have Google’d “when can I run again after FESS” it says after 2 weeks I could but not 100% full pelt.

I will defo avoid it for a week, to be honest I don’t breathe through my nose anyway as it’s rubbish 🤣 so was thinking after 2 weeks to try week 9. Any thoughts? Obvs I will play it by ear too depending on how I recover/feel.

I don’t want to lose my stamina I’ve built up 😔. I’m gutted I’m having to delay week 9. Any suggestions gladly welcomed. Thanks for reading.

despite my own frequent consultations with Doctor Google, your surgeon or doctor really is the best to advise you, you can ask before your surgery.

I recently had surgery and actually waited longer than I was told as one of the scars seemed to be pulling a bit still

Good luck !

yes fine, thank you, I had keyhole surgery, so no big scar, but I have 4 small scars and the one in my belly button really pulled, the others were fine very quickly.

When is your surgery, this Thursday (as in 3 days time)? Keep us updated
