HOW MUCH FITNESS HAVE I LOST? 10 weeks NO RUNNING.. recovery from broken ankle injury!

Рет қаралды 58,279

Күн бұрын

After breaking my ankle at the start of March, we had surgery to inset a metal plate shortly after. Then started 6 weeks of non weight bearing at home, two weeks of partial weight bearing with crutches, two weeks of walking unaided with a few minutes of running.. and then after 10 weeks we were able to run all week. Plus there was about 22 hours training on Zwift overall! Join us here, 11 weeks on.. as we run a 5k and delve into the data to see how much fitness has been lost!

They feel great and responsive despite being quite cushioned. I just recently retired my Rincons after 1k miles where the wear and tear really started to kick in and I could feel it. Bought new Bondi6 and Carbon X for long runs and intervals, respectively, and really love the change in shoes every now and then :)

Congrats Ben, great to see you running fast again (relative to being couch ridden, not your former self)! Have you done Altras? My favorite shoes. Maybe you could try the escalante, provision or Torin? Also, ever heard of Stryd power meters? I swear by it and base all my pacing off it because it's so consistent and doesn't need GPS signal, plus the critical power it calculates is a great measure of where your fitness is at.
