Hi Scott, I recommend giving it 3 months before you start running and just increase walking prior to then. Some people start sooner but I’m not sure it’s worth the risk. You have to listen to your body more than before, rest and/or slow down when you feel soreness. For me I don’t do much speed work as it’s harder on my hips, but running a 100 miler is okay. Everyone is different, you have to work out what’s right for you. Foam rolling, stretching, strength training and flexibility will all help. I also do triathlons for cross training. Anything is possible, this last week I ran 200 miles. Good luck, Dave.
