As I am a dedicated long distance runner so I thought it would do no harm if I jogged gently at walking pace for short distances! It has proved to be tremendously successful and hopefully build up my running muscles etc! I started at 6.5 weeks covering only 10 to 20 metres at a time. I was almost running on the spot lol! I gradually increased the distance and pace however, ever mindful to not really run as such. I then tackled some steep hill sections (uphill with almost walking downhill). I am now covering 6 miles in total with about 4.5 miles very slow, tentative, light jogging inter-dispersed with fast walking. I am doing gym work on a static bike and cross trainer thing and leg strength exercises (it's amazing how one can lose fitness and muscle mass after an op). My right leg is still thinner than my non-operated one. I intend continuing with such training regime and eventually cover 6 miles slow jogging. I hopefully can begin proper running training after 12 weeks! I am still very wary of overdoing it however no pain nor adverse reactions to date!
