Racewalking post THR?

Jstasiak2022

All,

I’m curious if anyone has any experience with competing race walking following a THR. I am searching for a new challenge in 2023 and race walking looks interesting. However, the exaggerated rolling hip motion is a concern. I would appreciate any information or advice.

      My surgeon, who told me *no running*, told me that race walking was fine. It doesn’t have the impact of running.

      P.S.: I run anyways.

        Thanks – I plan to start running again, too. I was looking for a few alternatives that would help with fitness and feed my need to compete while allowing the hip to heal.
