Anybody have any advice on coming back from injury.
A while ago I managed to twist my ankle and being an excitable beginner wanted to get back running as soon as possible, too soon as it turned out. The ankle went again after about a mile. The pain seems to have gone now but the fear of injury is making it mentally tough to get out there.
Any advice on getting back into running again without the setback of another injury. Not being able to go out is worse than the injury!

Walk before you run
Start off by going out for walks - building up to 40 mins then move on from there. with a coupl of jog/walks. But don't overdo it if you feel pain back off or you will yust end up having more down time.
To help maintain fittnes while down & out try some aqua-jogging at you local pool - you will look daft but it works.

Ask your GP if the hospital has a sports injury clinic. If not, I think it really is worth while taking it to a physiotherapist. Seems like a lot of money at the time, and then you have no problems, so you think - I paid for nothing. Which is of course what you did. You paid for no problems. And with luck, that's what you'll get.
I do remember at some stage in recovery playing on a wobble board, such as RW are offering in a draw to their subscribers club. I wouldn't want to say at what stage.
Good luck!
