Injury-aware running

A return-to-running plan after injury.

After injury, the goal is rebuilding tissue tolerance without re-aggravation. Start lower than you think you should.

Get cleared first

Don't restart hard running without clearance from a clinician familiar with your case.

Walk-run rebuild

1 min run / 2 min walk × 6, three times a week, building slowly.

Watch warning signs

Returning pain in the same site means stop and reassess.
