good to see you back MMS
Itôs good to be back!
Although not completely back...
Hi TheEd,
Iôve been able to run easy 3 times a week. My left foot almost 100% better. My phisio sessions were supposed to begin this week, but the clinic made a mistake and didnôt schedule them. But, from what feel right now, I should get back into running real soon!
Cheers.

And today was my last phisio session. Ready to slowly return to my training. Things are pretty intense here at work and later today (or tomorrow) Iôll post more of what I have been doing (or not doing :whistle: ) these days and we can discuss how I should return.
Great news at last!
Nice weekend, coach!

thanks for the feedback .. here's to go weekend

Hi TheEd,
Like I said yesterday, Iôm ready to return to my training and Iôd like to discuss with you whatôs the best way to do it.
First, some feedback:
I donôt have a running routine since May 10th, when I realized I was injured. I ran a few times from then until June 2nd when I traveled. The following 25 days not a single run, but lots of walking!
After this trip I returned running 3 times a week (5k to 6k runs at 6min/km) and sometimes riding my bike until July 18th, when I started phisio sessions and decided not to run at all to speed up my recovery. Before the phisio sessions my foot was ok, but only with some specific movements I felt some residual pain. It doesnââ¬â¢t happen now.
Phisio sessions ended yesterday and my foot looks perfect again. I ran an easy 5k this morning, it all went nice, but Iôll keep icing the area for some weeks.
The Return:
Here Iôd like your opinion. I was thinking of starting with Off Period and then Build up. I need to put my body used to a running routine again and the 30min runs from Off Period look nice. After that, I would start Build up at 75% during the first cycle and then would be ready for the 1h runs of the second cycle. This routine looks a lot like the one after my achilles injury, but at that time I didnôt stay this long without running.
What are your thoughts on this?

Ps: sorry for the loooong post!
great MMS .. nice to have you considering a program again
take a look at the Build Up schedule and balance what you are able to do, so as to get you going again ..
then after 2 weeks consider a 4k time-trial and we can see about the next level of training
what do you say?
TheEd
Ok.
Iôll keep things easy for the next two weeks and then run a 4k time-trial to see where I stand.
For now Iôm not wearing my hr monitor. I hurts to see how high my pulse is after this long pause. :whistle: But Iôll wear it during the trial.

Hi TheEd,
First week behind me and everything went well. Will run a bit longer this week and 4k time-trial this Saturday.
Curious to see how "fast" Iôll go.
Cheers
