Please can someone give me some tips on where to start ?
I damaged my knee in first week in November, ripped my colateral ligament and tore my muscles around my knee. Was in leg support for about 7 weeks, could not put any weight on it. Mid january and im walking fine on it, but now i cant wait to get running.
Had anyone any tips to get me started again ? i am a lone plodder and not the fastest by anymeans.
Thanks

I think in your position I'd get along to a physio who can advise you, speed recovery and plan a gradual return.
Other than that, do it very, very carefully!
Best of luck.
If you dive in with too much enthusiasm you'll suffer some other problem - probably an overuse injury.
I work with sports injuries, if you want I could send you a copy of my "Ladder Back to Running Following Injury". It's an easy to follow plan & will sort you out.
If you'd like me to email it to you send me your email address.
Thanks that would be great, i have emailed you my address.
I was doing quite well just before this happened and wanted to enter the Dublin marathon (as my first one)this year. I had done a half marathon earlier last year and i was planning on slowly improving my distance.
But now i think i would be lucky to do 5 miles with out struggling. My leg does not hurt unless im on an incline.
