Reply To: THR on July 1, 2020 – working my way back – any input?

[runnergreg]

Hey ajasper and OB, thanks also to you for your replies! I really appreciate it. Just an update, the runner in me has kept me continuing to integrate some jogging/slow running into my long walks. So two months after surgery and on alternate days I started to jog for 1 minute and walk for 2 minutes. The first three times I did 15 one minute jogs, then 18 then 21. The one minute jogs got a bit faster each time, and my overall distance covered (still walking the vast majority) is close to 10 miles a day. After the day with the 18 one min segments I felt soreness, again in the groin area. I gave it an extra day they moved to 21 one min segments and felt fine the next day. I did decide to start taking a meloxicam after the days I do the slow run segments to minimize any swelling. The last two times I went to 2 minute slow run segments (12 total so 24 min of slow running) with the 2 minute walk breaks. The area feels a bit taxed but not bad and seems to recover well the next day. I am going to continue this experiment and see what happens. Any opinions? Am I totally crazy for not waiting longer? Thanks again to all of you for your valued input. Best, Greg
