c25kI had a week's holiday where I tried to walk as normally as possible for me, and the toe seemed to be tolerating it, with occasional achy evenings.
This week I did three lunchtime walks, and a 10k walk today. I actually averaged a faster time today (10:16 min/km) because I bothered to change into running gear and let myself go as fast as possible without caring about getting sweaty. Again, everything seems to be ok apart from occasional aches, though I'm paying close attention in case my gait/posture is being subtly changed.
Next week I plan to do a similar pattern of workouts, but this time at a 30s:60s run:walk ratio, and a 5k weekend run. If that goes well, I'll carry on increasing the run:walk ratios in the following weeks and alternating 5k with longer distances at the weekends until I'm back where I was before I broke my toe.
I've just spent a happy time with a spreadsheet plotting out this return to running and then what I hope is a sustainable fitness plan for the rest of the year. Let's see how long it survives contact with reality.
