Return to Run - The safest way to get back to where you were.

Running is important, but listening to the body is crucial.  
There is unfortunately no set recipe to return to running after an injury.  Each injury will determine a varying length of time required to heal.  
The following plan is something I have looked to create as a flexible template for guiding the return to run. It starts with a progressive loading plan which should be completed prior to undertaking the return to run plan. It involves gradually increasing the load through the lower limb to bridge the gap between injury and starting to run. It is important to remember that simply returning to run is not the main goal for the majority.  It is important to recognise returning to run is not the end goal but merely the start.  
The best analogy would be passing your driving test is only the beginning of you learning to drive.
