More years on the clock more months to repair.

[Tbae]

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

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Mummycav]

Hope you are all good Bev.

Your 10K badge is just the best.

Take good care of you and yours.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🌟👏👏❤️.

[Bluebirdrunner]

Good advice Tbae, don't forget the end result is just being able to run, strong and injury free...so no need to rush your recovery.😘😊xxx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Your so right Jan.

No rush this time.Did not handle the fire being ignited the first time around.But loved it.Got away ahead of the strengthening process.Not good.

I have only still got a target to get back to where I was because it was so energising.

It’s going to take months and your description of run/strong/injury free is absolutely locked in forever now.

It’s been a big lesson for me and the repair time is hugely significant now.

Thank you Jan for all your support, could not do anything without this magic forum.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🌟👏👏☄️

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to Tbae]

Also...should we be wishing you many happy returns? 🎈😊xx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Hi Jan,

😂😂

Not yet I am a Leo.🦁

So all going well when I am back to 14-15 sessions per week and after completing this recovery period I will celebrate my 76th.

God willing the 5th grandchild will make an entrance in a few weeks.

Thank you Jan.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🌟👏👏☄️

[Bluebirdrunner in reply to Tbae]

Oops..misread your title😆...

You will be back doing brilliantly by August...😊

Best wishes for the safe arrival of your new grandchild...💖😊xx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

You administrators are so busy and so much to keep up with.

Yes the title is misleading.🙈🤔😂

Just amazing you all are.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👏👏☄️☄️

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 💪👍😃

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Gosh MW I am sorry about your hand.Hope that will strengthen and improve for you.

You are such a running star and inspiring.I am just a novice trying to make my way as a trotter and trying to hold on to my strength.

Love it, yes we are all worth it and I am in no rush this time.

Just did not handle the fire, first time round.🙈😂

Take good care of you, so many on here just like you that make this the magic forum.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🌟👏👏☄️

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

Glad to hear you have a plan with a positive outcome. We all know you can get there, you're not the giving in kind! 😉👍

It's so easy to get too gung-ho, done it myself and the lesson is not an easy one.

Fingers crossed for you that everything unfolds as it should 🤞😁

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thank you Jo.

Gosh you have got some pace.

I think I got site of your 5k lunch time run 🤔, must recheck Strava.

Yes finding the balance of sustaining and maintaining the buzz and avoiding injury takes time to learn.🤔🙈😂

You do very well because you have always been a flyer.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🌟👏👏☄️

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

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 👍😉

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Brillant Jo.

I am sorry I missed that Jo about your journey.

Gosh you have coped with such a lot.

Very inspiring you are.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🌟👏👏☄️

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......

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to mrrun]

Love it mrrun.

😂😂

You maybe stuck at 14 as you say, but on here you have the experience of your father’s age range.

Go you, and the forum are so lucky to have you.

👊💥🏃‍♂️🌟👏👏☄️

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to mrrun]

Love it 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure I can't be the only lorry driver hanging out the window shouting "weeeeeeee" as I fling it round it a circle.... can I!? 🤣😀

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Hahaha, that’s EXACTLY how l got a ticket in the post after doing rounds around my home team stadium after a win. Lol Weeeeee, indeed!

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

I love this photo!

Keep on keeping on, Tbae - and keep posting on here! You are an inspiration xxx

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Oh thank you Abi.

Only one pic in focus.🙈😂

Miles apart from your exceptional standards in everything really.

I am so impressed with all you do for the forum and of course your running journey achievements.

You are just a knock out Abi on this magic forum.

👊💥🏃‍♀️🌟👏👏☄️

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tbae]

[JonathanP 10 Miles]

Glad to hear you have a clear route back to full fitness and a map to guide you .

Wouldn't we all like to be 21 again?!😀

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to JonathanP]

Hi JP, thanks so much and hope all good for you.

👊💥🏃‍♂️🌟👏👏☄️

[JonathanP 10 Miles in reply to Tbae]

Yes thanks, still running 3 times a week - and enjoying it 😀

[Tasha99 Marathon]

Did you bugger yourself up doing that two runs a day every day thing? Glad you’re on the mend.

[Tbae Metric Marathon in reply to Tasha99]

Yes probably and more.🤔🙈😂

No fool like an old fool.🙈😂
