    currently returning to running after an injury as well, and seeing your perspective on the mental side of dealing with not being able to run was really helpful for me to see. Injury is tough and truly is a roller coaster of good days and bad days. can’t wait to keep following along. keep up the great work, callum!

Freak accidents can happen to anyone, they’re not your fault and that’s often the hardest thing to take.

    Great to hear you are back running! Not at your level be a competitive age grouper. I broke my leg 7 years ago, had to have two surgeries and was in a cast/boot for 5 months. Did the run walk build back. A few years from now you will be at a place where you don’t think about the achillies but between now and then dont get to high on the highs or low on lows. Focus on the process and be diligent with all the PT and strength work. At my late 30s and into 40s I was able to get better than I was pre injury so no doubt you’ll be hitting PBs in the not too distance future!

    Great to see you back running, Callum. I have been through the process of recovering from Achilles surgery (nothing as severe as you underwent) and the first time back running (from memeory it was a 2 minute effort in my case) is very traumatic. Will the leg hold up? Can I remember how to run? From what you said in the video you are aware of all the possible pitfalls ahead and have obviously been very well advised throughout the rehab process so I reckon that you can look forward with confidence. Expect to see you tear up the track in summer 2025!
