When to start running ?
April 8, 2012 by crutchman
I need guildlines as to when to start running. Its been 41 weeks since the operation. Since then had 15 physio session the first 3 months and after that i have been a bit lazy and not going to the gym. Last 2 months i started to go to the gym 2 times a week. In the gym i do light leg raises. and jog once in a while. I also run in the swimming pool and do excercises.
I can do 15 1 heel raises on my injured leg at 85% of the full extension.
I can walk long distances without any pain.
I jogged 3 times 5 minutes each with slight pain afterword.
My calf on injured leg is 15% smaller than the good leg.
I can reach 95% to full extension on a heel raise once
I worry a bit because there is a bump under the insesion that the doctor told me to massage using a spoon. It has improved but it is still visible. Is that something i should worry about?
ALso gained 10 KG extra wieght.
Never attempted to run.
Can anyone advice me as to when to start running and how to go about it.
Thanks
