Broken Leg - Getting Back In Shape?

Question

Allllright! SO!

I used to be on the school's outdoor track team as a distance runner. Eventually in May I had tendentious, a stress fracture to my fibula, and a torn edma all on my right leg. I had to wear a cast & for six weeks and went to physical therapy over the summer. Meaning, I was not able to do cross country =(

I would like to slowly get back in shape without hurting my leg and be able to run the daily 5 miles that I used to be able to run.

Anybody have any tips for getting back in my runner's shape and staying in shape without further hurting my leg?

Answer 1

You can run in deep water, it will not impact your leg and will help your conditioning.

You can use deep water running to replace your long distance work.
