Don’t feel bad if you have to repeat weeks. I think I spent about 3 months on week 6! Getting out and doing anything has a value all if it’s own.

Have only been back at it a week. But its great, I always miss running when i can’t do it.
So far so good. It’s plantar fasciitis so takes some managing. It had me laid off boxing for a spell as well. I came back to running a month ago but pushed too hard too early and flared it up again.
Slowly slowly from now on.

I just ordered this. I’m super excited to try it out! The reviews are really good. My calves are almost always tight and sore. I’ve tried the normal stuff- foam rolling, massaging them and muscle rub cream.

Tomorrow’s the day I attempt a SLOW JOG (I’m shouting at myself NOT TO RUN FAST) after my quad strain, which is feeling mostly better. I miss running so bad. I’m JONESING for a run (probably not ideal). I mean JOG, not run…

I made the jog (well basically a recovery run in the end…) with no issues with the injury! My fitness was lacking a bit but I can build that back up now, thankfully.

Hi, I just started week 6. The last run of week five was a twenty minute straight run and I managed it!
I like the structure so far.

Nice. I started a couple months ago, got to about week 3 and foolishly decided to just go for a 4km run which flared up my foot injury. Lesson learned slow progress is better than no progress this time around

Solid work this morning! It started as a I don’t wanna run but I went out for just around the block to see how I felt. My legs felt strong and my body good so I put on the guided run and just did the thing.

I am a sad sad person today 
I have been having a problem area on the bottom of my foot for about 2 weeks now and I chalked it up to my swelling condition. Yesterday after my run I was having issues walking and under my arch is very tender so I googled. It says I could have plantar fasciitis. The symptoms match. I happen to have a checkup with my GP monday so I plan to ask for a referral to the PT place here. I asked on a runners group I’m in for other people’s experiences with this and I’m being told it took them MONTHS to overcome. If I can’t run for months I don’t know what I’ll do. Not to mention I had a whole running vacation planned at the end of next month. I’ll have to cancel the whole thing. Maybe the race will let me defer my registration to next year. I know I haven’t been diagnosed yet but I’m almost positive it’s what I’m experiencing. Today I’m limping just walking around the house. I am such a goal oriented person and I’m am going to be absolutely crushed if all of my running goals are out of the window before the first month of this year is over.

I’ve had PF twice. It’s very painful and did take months to heal, sorry 
I hope yours is nothing as annoying and far more simple.
