I think you are making progress almost perfectly, especially given the conditions in AK since your op. My THR is ceramic, incision was lateral, surgeon said I would not break it so was jogging 5k before my 6 week assessment-encouraged by my PT. It was not a pretty sight but no harm was done!
The only downside to the operation was I picked up 3mm to 5mm of extra leg length which sometimes still affects my thigh (illeo-tibial band?) even 4 years later. I just graduated to Hyperion Tempo shoes and have had a spell of running much faster than usual to collect county standard times at distances from 1 mile to 30km – at age 70 – and the hips have been great despite the increase in total distance and the frequency of running.
Been watching your inspiring videos on on Youtube – envious of the trails on your door step.
Keep up the good work!
