RTTC #58 Can I Jump Back Into Training After 2 Weeks Off?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Running to the Castle I am answering a DM question I received: I took 2 weeks off due to pain, can I jump right back into my training plan?Listen to this episode as I review what my alternative was to this runner when I said no, don’t hop right back into the training plan.This particular runner had run 8 miles no problem, but the next run, a 30 minute short/maintenance run was painful and then they did a few more maintenance runs as a test after 2 weeks off. This is common that the long run actually wasn’t the problem, but the next short run caused a lot of pain.Listen in to learn what to do so you don’t cause more pain and have to rest for 6 weeks, instead of the 2 you already rested.Links mentioned in this episode How to Train Between Races 6 week Speed ProgramReady to stop panicking about how far ahead of the balloon ladies you are and start actually stopping for character photos?
