Still going? Tried to up the frequency too soon, injuries suck.

My Mom's memorial services and my dog dying kinda slowed me down. But I'm still getting in a few a week. Although I've been eating real bad so it's not much help. But running more and more each time

My injuries were my feet. When I say ran 3 miles it was more of a slow jog. I want to make sure my feet can handle it first. Plus they have to carry a lot more weight than they did pre-injury

Been working since may with a stress fracture in my heel. Gonna be wearing "the dreaded boot" once work slows down in about a month or so. Tightness in calf area and achilles, with aggravation to existing plantar condition as well.

Any suggestions for rehab/atrophy control once I'm no longer walking and biking on it?
I'll take your answers of the air...

Three days a week, I think, is perfect to start, but my advise is to be careful and two days in between, not that I follow my own advise! There are great running apps you can download if you want a regimented starting program (couch to 5k, couch to 10K types). I tried to follow Den's advice (a much faster and accomplished runner than I can be) and its worked well so far coming back from injuries (mostly foot/ankle, indoor soccer related.) Itching to really up the mileage back to pre injury days, but I. will. stay. patient.

If you're getting back into running, I would strongly suggest not running back to back or even with only one days rest. I would give it at least two. No rush getting back into running, it'll come unless you push it.

Yeah, I ran tues and then last night. My plan is 3 days a week right now. The other days are more squats/lunges type of workouts

3 miles yesterday. Didn't hurt as bad.

[oneinchpunch]

Ran for the first time in over a year. Only 2 miles. No foot pain today which is the biggest plus. But man am I outta shape

I can max 100 push ups after doing them now for many years. Keep it up guys. I dont do sets of 100 but i know i can max that.

I'm doing "the Plank Challenge" as well, but not hers, it's a different one my wife gave me.

Doing the plank each night, then the pushups.

It's been good.

I'm on day 5. Doing the ab and push-up challenge as well as day 5 of her 30 days of change.

Day 5 of these is easy. Day 15 of all of them is going to suck
