I’ve just got back from another short run around the Common. 2.7m (4.4k). I did another similar length run mid-week, so if I can keep this up then I’m now doing this distance twice a week. I could still feel my injury in my right foot, but it’s a feeling and not actual pain. Mindful that I’m recovering from this injury is at the forefront of my mind and it’s helping me concentrate totally on my form, which can only be a good thing. I’m convinced that starting running in this gentle way is just the physiotherapy that my foot needs.
I’m going to work this up to 5.5km three times a week over the next couple of months with the aim of doing 10km three times a week by the time the better weather starts to arrive.
I’m just pleased to be out running again. I find it so good and I’m really enjoying the endorphin release that it brings.
