Physio #2

So I saw my physio today, and a couple of points to summarise:

Good

- I can start basic run training again in 1-2 weeks time.

Bad 

- It's still pretty bad
- It's going to take minimum 6-8 weeks just to get back where I was.  And let's admit it, I wasn't very far.  A couple of 5k runs and that was it.


I'm going to hit up "Up and Running", a professional running centre in Milton Keynes tomorrow.  They'll do a gait analysis and figure out what I need to best suit my retarded feet.  After that, I spend 1-2 weeks walking, then slowly introducing short runs (like starting C25k all over again).

On the upside my physio said that it won't be the end of the world if I still do the 5k charity run next Sunday, she'll just have another week of "fixing" to do afterwards.  She did suggest that perhaps distance running may not be for me, certainly not half marathon/marathon distances, but they've never been on the cards for me really.  If I can do 5-10k runs on a regular basis, it'll be enough for me.
