Feet in the Cowclaps, one of the moderators, suggested short walk/runs to me when I was coming back from an injury once. Run steady, on grass if you can, and don't do more than a mile or two to start with. Build up slowly then if that's okay. Good luck!Quote:

Hill reps with the club tonight, 1.6 mile warm up - 22 short reps (100-150m) - 1.4 mile warm down. Tough session, last few reps were getting hard but overall felt good.

It's like a tempo hill session, short reps with short recovery. Good for strength, coordination and lactate threshold. I see it as a strength session and a good way to get used to pushing hard and feeling the pain. I tend to run longer intervals generally when I do them on my own, but this was a club session.
2.5mile recovery run this morning (to the shop to buy breakfast :p)
an ok week so far totalling 43 miles and 9800ft ascent
might go for an easy jog on the beach this weekend, but nothing more the legs feel like they've done enough this week already
10 miles 1500ft from Midhope with Datt and Russ taking in 2 whisky stops, 4 goecaches, 2 wrecks, 1 bombsite, 1 teaplant and 1 rail bogey from a WW2 bombing range, all on Datts doorstep, what an adventure.
