After spraining ankle ligaments on my right leg on Christmas Day, having completed week 9, I have been unable to run. However, having had a telephone physio therapy consultation6 weeks ago and following the exercises given, I am almost pain free.
I will follow the 8 week course before starting Couch to 5k from week 1. So only two more weeks to wait! Can't wait.

Ah thats such a pain, I fell and damaged my ankle ligaments a year past new years eve and hobbled for months afterwards, physio was great and here i am a here later on week 9 of c25k, you wont have lost too much fitness but good plan to start the first week to see how you find it, wishing you a speedy recovery
Thanks for the good wishes. Glad you made a recovery. I must admit, I have wondered whether it will ever be quite pain free when I start running. But starting at the beginning, I'll take it slowly and stop in any pain. Took far longer to heal than I thought.
