I last run on the 24th June , completing all the runs in week 8. I couldn’t continue due to a swollen ankle , I did not injure myself during the run but on reflection I feel my running shoes weren’t providing enough stability and potentially over stretching could have caused the issue.
6 weeks later following an X-ray to rule out a fracture and some amazing physio i can start again.
I invested the time in going for Gait analysis to give me the additional confidence and i now have a new pair of Brookes running shoes.
Week one Run 2 completed , surprising how quickly the body loses the ability of running those continual minutes without the need to walk!
Back to the beginning - 60 second runs and grateful for the recovery walk in between
