All will depend on the ankle and what advice you get but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s to rest up this week and don’t panic if that is the case as it’s been scientifically proven that 2 weeks out you don’t lose any fitness. If you are given the all clear to run then lets just keep it nice and easy for now until we are confident the ankle is ok.

Keep that RPE down. You want to be able to run and chat, speaking of which, joining a group can add to the enjoyment here.

So slightly more challenging and time consuming. To save time you can superset some exercises. What does that mean? Well rather than having 60 seconds recovery after your Kettlebell Swings, use that 60 seconds to do the Farmers Walk. And then go back to the Kettlebell Swings again. So you’d alternative 2 exercises and once, then have a short break before doing the same again. It saves as much as 15 mins that you’d otherwise just be standing around. Any issues let me know.

3 mile walk with Lou and then 45 mins swim in the pool at lunch time.
Hope the ankle is showing signs of improvement and well done on the swim. Nice to catch up with Lou as well.

I had physio yesterday and acupuncture, Kim said to activate and load but to not over load. I went on a little run from home wearing an ankle support just to try and make sure it was well supported. She said I’ve had tendon damage but also planter fasciitis pesky thing. She deeply massaged again. I went for 3 easy miles then came home. Tomorrow I was going to do an S&C session and concentrate on stretching and strengthening my feet and ankles Really am trying to be positive and keeping moving. I was going to continue swimming and start using the cross trainer also. Really just see how it goes and hope my ankle / foot continues to improve. It’s been a mental struggle the past few weeks but doing all I can.
Yeah Planta is a real problem if gets worse, so just a case of being smart. I know the struggles having had time off this winter, but cross training is a good alternative and glad you were able to run today. Just keep an open mind about the next few weeks and take it day by day. Really hope things improve for you Michelle.

Today I did 30 mins on the treadmill at home at easy pace. 10 mins on the x trainer, found that a bit boring but it was good to give it a try. I then done a light S&C session stretching and band work included, with calf raises with a tennis ball as I had been advised this is good for strengthening exercises. Worked upper body and core as I have no issues here. Taking it day by day and seeing what it brings after each bit of exercise. Plan to swim this week once or twice depending what I can fit in.
Well done Michelle, glad you were able to get some running in and I hope it hasn’t had any effect on the ankle for today (Monday). Day by day is the best approach right now. Hopefully it will continue to show signs of improvement.
