Hopefully the ankle is starting to behave now. The important thing this week is to really keep the runs easy. We don’t need to be going up Battle Road. What I did in the past when I had foot injuries is just run around a field for 60 mins. Super boring but great for mental toughness. Something like Crowhurst Rec would be ideal for you if you wanted to try this approach. Soft under foot, but flat, better than not running at all, or the treadmill could be an option too. But keep it easy if you do run 🤞

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.

40 mins swim at lunch time followed by an hour easy pace at home on the treadmill. Heart rate stayed around 120 and In zone 2 the entire time so I know I kept this easy and controlled. A little discomfort here and there but not enough to say stop 😊
Ok that’s interested. Be patient though as you don’t want to set yourself back, but the treadmill right now is a good option. What are your hopes about the RTTS? See how the next week goes and make a late decision? 🤔 Glad you are back running again now and the treadmill is a good option given it’s consistency which will prevent you rolling the ankle. Well done Michelle.

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.

Good session, plenty of stretching and foam rolling, using a tennis ball for stair calf raises. Kept it light without weights as such but used kettle bell for some squats and toe/ foot raises.
Perfect. Very sensible to keep it light right now. Glad you are able to do this whilst you recover. Well done Michelle

Yesterday I had S&C but wanted to move it to tomorrow but couldn’t do it on here. Today was a rest day but I needed to get out for a few miles just to see how was foot and ankle was as my last run was on Tuesday on the treadmill, my last out four run was last week so I was anxious how it would respond. It was just 3 miles out to the hospital and back. It’s the best it’s felt in a good while 😊. I’m still a bit nervous about it but it’s definitely a win today. I’m sorry I haven’t kept exactly to plan but I’m just trying to keep it lighter and ticking over doing all I can with swimming and gym sessions too. I have 90 mins easy tomorrow? Just unsure if I should run for that long a week out ? Hapoy too give it a go if you think I should .
That’s ok. I think at the moment it’s important to listen to your body and adapt your schedule on a day to day basis. So I’m not worried about the changing things up at the moment. I’m glad the ankle felt ok on today’s run, that’s a positive. Agree, 90 mins tomorrow would be too much. I’ll tweak it, drop it to 45 mins, if you get to 45 mins without any pain, feel free to round it up to 60 mins, but any sign of the discomfort don’t force it. But overall the feedback is promising. Which is great.

The only real mistake you can make here is going too fast. Try and pick a flat route as well. Hills will push that RPE too high.

45 mins easy on the treadmill at home this morning. It was going to be tricky getting out today (childcare ) for Polly. But I still wanted to get it done. Keeping the legs ticking over 😊
Well done Michelle, glad you have been able to get a few runs in this week and the safety of the treadmill is a good idea right now I think. A decent week given the circumstances.
