Sprinter returning after THR

Has anyone returned to sprinting (60m, 100m, 200m) after a total hip replacement.

I am 69 and just over 2 years since the operation and wondering if anyone has or knows of experience in returning to sprinting after a THR ?

I have just over a year before going into the 70-74 age group and potentially my last chance to return to competition.

We’re all about Couch25k here so sadly not many of us are sprinters…. The best thing I can suggest is to get some real life advice from physio specialising in running.

The wonderful RunBrianRun might be best placed to talk about the world of competitive running….

Good luck with your comeback!
