2 weeks since I've "officially" begun running again. Its a slow process and one that I have to be patient with. Two weeks ago, I started with 50 meters of running thrown in at regular intervals during my 45 minute walk. This week and last, I increased that to 100 meters. I take about 30-40 seconds to complete the 100 meters so it's by no means close to what my speed intervals used to look like.
In 45 minutes, I cover 8 rounds of the walk+run combo which brings my running distance to 800 meters. Pre-injury, I was running about 6.5k in 45 minutes (without much of a break in between) so I am sure you can appreciate when I say that this is truly a test of my patience. :) But if this injury has taught me anything, it is patience. And I have wised up to the fact that there is nothing to be gained by rushing things. (Harking back to rushing my 20-miler training which is what caused me this whole ordeal in the first place)
So slowly and steadily, I'll take my baby steps up to week 10 and further and hopefully, I'll get back to my pre-injury pace stronger and in better form than before.
