First run since sprained ankle

Post by Queeny »

Hi,

Tomorrow is d-day, first run since discovering I have a sprained ankle.
Fingers crossed that I'm able to complete week 4.

I have no pain now, but my foot feels weak but I hope a long 10min warm up will get me ready for a good run again.

Next run after that will be Thursday, hopefully enough time to
give my foot another nice rest before starting back full time on the plan.

:-)

Hi,

Just back from my week 4 run 3. I found the run great and was able to keep up A quicker pace than usual. It was only the last few seconds of the final run that I started to find really hard.

Foot didn't hurt but is feeling stiff and weak now. I might put some ice on it and rest now until Thursday.

I'm hoping that this is just recovery aches and I will be back to full fitness soon, its healed a lot quicker than I predicted, so I'm very grateful to be at the stage I am but I will be careful not to push it too soon.

Love Abby x
