How old are you just out of interest.

I'm now about 4 months of not running, physio or pre-hab tommorow. I have slacked off on the exercises over crimbo.

I got my self into the gym on monday and battered the squats and all the that. My legs are killing, but my knee is fine. That is progress for me, because 3 months a smal amount of squats woulld have my knee aching and sore for a few days after. Knee feels really good
So Im happy, Im ready to start building up and aiming for some of the march 5k road races, hopefully see some of you guys on the fells maybe june.
I'm 30. I got sloppy over xmas with the exercises but the physio says get used to them because i'll be doing them every day or whatever for the rest of my life, such is my tendancey to run with the wrong muscles. I'm 4 months into this too.

Gym work is something i can do regularly and without irritation too, physio says to do leg presses rather than squats with weight on, one leg at a time cos if you do both at once you'll always use one more than the other. I'm doing hip adduction on the machine, and abduction like southernsoftie suggested by tieing a theraband around my ankles and walking up and down the gym sideways. I've also been doing a lot of work on a BOSU ball so help improve my general stability. If i can get a few AM races done this summer i'll be happy.
