I managed a pain-free 5 minutes of rowing this morning. Aiming for 10 minutes tomorrow. Onwards!

Welcome back Jef I think I joined this forum 14 months ago so if our paths did cross it would have been briefly.
7 weeks post knee op and I've built up to 11k, keeping it steady and hr capped. Muttley I find my hr varies in the summer more - probably because of temp changes, it seems more stable this time of year - I'm still rowing outdoors and it's always bloomin' cold βοΈ
Well done Nellers, good to see you back!

Hi Jef, it was to trim a torn meniscus and also carry out a general tidy up while they were in there which briefly raised my hopes of a return to running, but they found bone on bone so I think my running will still be limited. It instantly relieved the pain I was feeling from the tear though, so I'm pleased with the results π

Shame about the running Craggy.. for many its our first love and also the thing that seems to most prone to damage. And nothing ever fully replaces it either.
Good on the reduced pain though. 11km is a tidy figure !

Yes it's hard to give up running, especially when you have to watch your partner heading out the door in her trainers most nights π
Are you in Sub 7 IRC Jef? I'm a member, I haven't posted for a while though due to the knee injury.

Looking to do a 2 week prep from my low rate long stuff to do a 2km test.
Any suggestions for a good run in ?

Anything I suggest is doomed to failure and probably injury, Jef. Donβt ever listen to a word I say!π
Another 10 minutes on the rower this evening before doing some carefully chosen CrossFit. Feel much better for managing to do stuff. Any stuff!
