In reply to Haleigh. Hi Haleigh, I am sorry to hear about your injury! But glad you are on the mend. I think you are right to trust your body. Do you have access to an alter G treadmill? If so, you can expand the time you run while off loading bodyweight. Many PT offices will have them. The running is like a strength exercise so doing a bit each time before progressing plus another XT activity will continue to move both your musculoskeletal and cardiovascular fitness forward

I just got back into running after having a thigh strain. I rested for about 6 weeks and had a few set backs the few times I started to run before my body was ready. I started with 2 miles and was increasing 10% each run twice a week but I would have good days with zero irritation and days with some irritation that went away after 24 hours or less and others like today where the irritation has lasted for a few days. (Irritation in inner thigh, NOT where the thigh strain was) I’m thinking about scrapping my original plan and really starting from the beginning. It feels right to do but at the same time I’m worried because it would have me doing only a few minutes of running combined with walking and starting at only 10 minutes total of running for the first level. The last level does end with 20 minutes running 1 min walking 3x. The goal is to do each level twice with no pain symptoms before progressing. Does this sound TOO easy to start? Or do would starting from ground zero be the best way to progress?

In reply to nada. Unfortunately it is impossible to predict a timeline and dangerous. I advise waiting until painfree, then wait longer, then proceed with walking then run/walk

In reply to Batoul Arnaout. Thank you so much for reading this. It is better to start with a walk then run/walk gradually increasing your run and decreasing your walk time—ensuring rest days & several days at the same distance before increasing. Good luck with your recovery & reach out any time with questions!
