Get Running Forums

Hi,

I have been to the doctor today and have been told that I have sprained my ankle from running in cheap trainers

Im now on rest leave for at least a week, and will probably be longer as im going on a diving holiday in a couple of weeks time and dont want to push it too soon, and ruin that also.

Im absolutly gutted, but will be back as soon as I am able to. My last run was week 4 day 2, so at least im half way through the program, and I hope to still stay active and not allow my fittness level to drop too much.

The most ironic thing about the whole situation, is I started this program, to get fit in time for my holiday as I find diving is hard work, when you're not used to being active.

oh well, as Arnie says I will be back I hope that everyone carries on and completes the plan xx

Enjoy the rest. Keep an eye on this forum and let us know how the diving hols goes! I'm sure you'll be back when your ankle is ready

That's a real shame, hopefully it'll warn us newbies how important it is to have decent trainers, I have a cheap Nike pair which probally arn't right for running, after reading your post I'm gonna go out and buy a decent pair.

Get lots of rest and hope you have a fantastic holiday,let us know how it went and we'll all be here to motivate you once your able to start running again
