Just got back from my physio who has sorted out my ankle and hip.
Basically out since 23/01/19.
Have done no gym strength basically since then.Have repeated C25k upto week 4 and will just continue every alternative day with the programme run and on every rest/repair day I will restart a gym strength session.
Been advised to break into it as follows,
2weeks at 25%, 2 weeks at 50%, 2weeks at 75% and 2weeks at 100%.
Even after that to get back to 7 days per week it will take a further two months.This is achieved by taking 2 weeks to increase an extra day per week.So to increase from 3 to 7 days.
I think with the running I have 5 weeks of C25k to complete a repeat and then I will continue with a repeat of Bridge, 8 weeks.
So all going smoothly it is a 7 month recovery period.
Never had any idea of that.Pleased I have had the help and heading back to better times.
Keep forgetting and still wanting to be 21 again.🙈😂
👊💥🏃♀️🏃♂️🌟🌟👏👏

Sounds like a good plan Tbae and we all know a plan is good, especially recovery plans....think we all forget we’re not 21 anymore....be kind to yourself, you are a marvel xx
I’ve done no strength stuff for ages since hurting my hand last autumn It’s not stopped me running so i’m not worrying about it You can only do what you can do 🙂. Just started hanging about on the new monkey bars at the park with a view to pull-ups 🙂. My hand, although, healed outwardly, is not right and is dead painful if I catch it or put any pressure on it 🤨
Take care and time to get yourself back to fitness You’re worth it 💪👍😃
I pushed the distance way too soon last year and brought myself to a halt. I could barely walk the 1.5 miles to the post office, let alone run.
It is a delicate balance and we none of us like thinking we "can't" do stuff. The reality is we really "can" but sometimes we shouldn't. The candy jar has morphed into something very odd indeed 🤣😂
We just need to keep giving ourselves credit for how far we've come and remember patience now will pay off in the long run, which us really what most of us are here for 👍😉
Hey, merely wanting to be 21 again is half a job done. My father always wanted to be anything in the region of 80-115 and behaved accordingly. I’m personally stuck at 14, not a month older. Whoever gave me a drivers license......
