Can anyone who runs tell me when after your op you could start jogging again??

I started jogging at 6-8 weeks, after my surgeon cleared me.

Started couch to 5k program at six weeks out. 15 mos post op and have done a few half marathons, a couple of Ragnar relays, a triathlon a number of 5/10k's and am currently training for a marathon and a Spartan race.

I to started about six weeks out from walking and used a couch to 5K app to ease into it. Now I run three times a week and go to the gym three times a week – most days my mileage is about 2 1/2 to 3 miles.

It's been great fun to do a 5K and last month a 5 mile trail run. I don't run four times or competition so much asked to see how I do and to have fun working towards them as a goal.

So I have to say it has been great feeling how good I feel when I run and how good I feel being able to be a runner now. I have to admit I am a slow runner – and for the first six months I called myself a "jogger "because it felt like fall fabric I thing to say I was a runner. I'm over that now, and it doesn't matter if you're mile takes 20 minutes or four minutes – it is still a mile!

Above all take it slowly and listen to your body and get fitted for GOOD running shoes at a running store first!!
