Return to Running after Crosstraining

    Hello,

    I recently took the winter off of running due to a sesamoid issue during my summer/fall ultra training. I have no idea what my running fitness is currently like, but I did plenty of cross training on my bike and did weighted hikes once my feet allowed it. I am eager to start running again. What do you think a good conservative weekly milage goal is?

    I am thinking of starting at 10mi/week and supplementing my long days with bike rides.

    Alex,
    I would consider a walk/run program……5min walk, 3min run, 1min walk, 3min run…..Repeat initially for a total of 15min to start, then gradually progress if you are tolerating it.
    Cheers,
    Pete
