Recovery schedule?

Hi,

I'm just back to running after a 4 month lay-off following knee surgery (cartilage) and ITB problems.

Physio has said "start with 10 minutes" and build up from there.

I can run 15 minutes on the treadmill (faster than before the injury..weird but true), 5-7 minutes on the road (harder surface tougher on the knees).

Before injury I was running up to 12 miles in training....that's clearly off the agenda...

...but does anyone have a good "recovery" schedule? After such a long break should I go back to a novice schedule? Help...please

Cheers, Hedgehog

  • I came back from a bit of a lay off with injury a few months ago but probably not as serious as yours.

    I wouldnt worry too much about schedules initially - more of a suck it and see, but defo keep seeing your physio regularly. Can your physio suggest some program?

    WRT schedules, no doubt your physio has given you re-hab excercises and stretching - do these religiously.
