    Default Runners

    I was wondering if there are runners in the forum that have been able to return to running after being sleeved and if it becomes easier once the weight starts coming off. I used to run but with weight I can only do a 5k max and it takes me a long time... want to plan fir a half next November, which will be 11 months after surgery but was wondering if that was even realistic...

    I was cleared for all exercise at 5 weeks. I was not a runner prior and weighed 275 and started the c25k and in week 7 of it. I was able to run 3.2 miles this weekend. You should be fine training for your 1/2 marathon!
