Skirt Runner
Yikes...... I have a HM one month from today....was still holding onto the hope of running it.... I read something somewhere that you can do 50% of your pre-injury mileage one week, 75% the next and 100% the next, then add back speed work.... I was hoping to hear more like that...
PRs: 5K- 28:16 (5/5/13) 10K- 1:00:13 (10/27/13) 4M- 41:43 (9/7/13) 15K- 1:34:25 (8/17/13) 10M- 1:56:30 (4/6/14) HM- 2:20:16 (4/13/14) Full- 5:55:33 (11/1/15)
I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
There's a bunch of theories out there. I heard for every week out it takes two weeks to come back or something like that. Personally doing a half after being injured and just getting back to running is not what I would do, but that is only my opinion.
Running is my mental-Ctrl-Alt-Del.
I wasn't going to "race" it.... Sigh..... Already DNSing a HM on Sunday....

kristin, remind me how long you were out? I'm thinking the HM in a month is a bit too aggressive ...
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.
6 weeks. I'm trying to find the balance between "hopeful" and "realistic"....I knew Sunday's half wasn't realistic so I'm dealing with the DNS (rather unhappily but I'm dealing) but I have a HM 2/23 and another 3/15.... I'm still holding out hope for those but I'm wondering if I should just give up...

6 weeks of no running and a HM in a month do not compute, at least not in my experience! Sorry
Yay yay yay! I know I'm a bit carried away here, but I actually left the house today on my own. I drove to the grocery store, did some shopping, and filled my cart up with all carbs. LOL. So nice to leave the house. Its been only 6 days. Feeling hopeful. Can't wait to start PT and get moving again.
That's great!!

Well, I did 6 weeks off and then ran a 50 miler less than a month later, so just go for the ultra and you'll be fine.
JUST KIDDING.
You're a newer runner, so taking things slowly is the best approach.
Running is dumb.

Cool....100 miler maybe??? Next week??
Did you ever determine the root cause of your current injury? From what I recall, you ran a half marathon and inexplicably came up injured a day or two afterwards, is that correct?
Based on a six week layoff from running, Daniel's chart for returning from a setback would have you running a third of your previous weekly mileage load for 14 days, then half of it for 15 days, then 75% of it for 15 days plus strides. But of course you can do whatever the hell you want. lol

I have to agree with the above statement about finding out the cause of your injury. With my current injury, I have a plan of attack going forward and I'm hoping that PT will help me get back on my feet even if its just for short distance. I think doing a half marathon right after being injured isn't such a good idea. That is the reason why I usually don't pre register for races. Good luck with what you decide. Did you ever go to PT or find put if you need a different shoe or orthotic? PT may be a good resource to look at your gait and to help with any weakness that you may have.
I don't have a choice but to preregister for races....most of the races I want to do either sell out or become unaffordable several months before the race. I can't afford PT and the doctor said I don't need it. I am going to get new shoes on Saturday though. I think I need something more neutral. Orthotics aren't going to work for me either every custom insole or prefab one has caused excruciating pain. I don't have $500 to spend on orthotics that will hurt me.
As to the root cause my doctor thinks it was just a freak accident. I have been looking into this PT place in my borough that has a runners clinic and does gait analysis and lots of good stuff. But it is $375.
I hear you on the cost of PT. I'm hoping I will only need a few weeks. I hate paying twenty dollars a visit for stuff I know. I just need guidance.
