But this week I hurt my ankle so I’m going to rest it, but I wondered if should start at 20 mins of running and slowly move back to 30 minutes? I’ve had a lot of issues trying to hit 30 minutes sustained again.

Back in March I hurt my back on a deadlift. Bulging L4 and L5.  So now with the gyms being closed and recovering, I felt I wanted to start running again. 

My mile time was fresh about 8 mins around 10 with a 20lb vest. My 2 5k times were 41 and 36 mins with alot of walking breaks in the middle. 

 

So my question is, has anyone slowly tried to recovery with running from a back injury. I still get a jelly leg when I walk every now and then, and when I bend a certain way I still get a shot of pain in my hip flexor. My quad is tight I noticed from doing squats the past few days. 

Could using c25k be a good start especially with the walk run pattern of the first days?

A little under a year ago, I started having back problems and found out that I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back. Since the discs are meant to help with absorbing to shock from running and bouncing and all that, I'm afraid of hurting myself or causing these problems to get worse. Does anyone have any tips on how to not hurt myself, or maybe make running have a little less impact on my spine?

I am just starting on this program. I am on day 3. However, my right knee is sore. I had surgery on my right knee on August 2nd, due to a torn meniscus and ACL. My doc said it was OK to start running, I should just go slowly; so I have by doing this program.

However, even after only day 2, my right knee feels really sore but my left feels fine. Should I call my orthopedist and ask him what I should do? Can i keep going forward, just making sure to rest in between workouts? Is it OK to be sore.

Really would appreciate advice.

Thanks!

On Friday I got very sick due to one of my arthritis medications. I lost 6 pounds over the weekend. Could not eat, drink or hold down food or water for about 72 hours. Ended up in the ER on an IV and a whole mess of other things I won’t go deeper into. That was a week ago and although I’m on the mend I would imagine it will be about another 3 days before I am able to exercise again. Should I start up at Week 3 Day 3 like normal and see how I do? Or since there is a good chance I lost strength and stamina I was starting to build up should I go back in to week 2 maybe not the start of week 2 but maybe day 2 or 3 and work my way back up? I don’t won’t to regress but I don’t want to over do it either.

 

Thanks in advance

But I'm stubborn and determined and know that this type of exercise has always yielded the best results for me. Soooo... I have a treadmill and access to asphalt paths around the park near me. I want to try this without injuring myself and expect to stay in week 1 for a while. I have okay running shoes for now. 

Any recommendations anyone has on stretches etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed while doing the jogging portion I started to experience pain down the front of my leg as well as in my calf and to some extent in my ankle. On day 3 it was to the point that when I got to jog, during the four out of eight portion, I had to stop and slowly walk around the gym for a bit for the pain to go away. I am always fine after the training and the next day, it's just during those times the pain comes on pretty fast. Even after the training I am able to go on and do about another 30 minutes to an hour of  other routines in the gym with no problems. I wanted to see if there's something I can do differently to prevent any injuries or to correct any mistakes that I may be making early on. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
