You’ve followed a sensible recovery path Mark, seems the AI has been really useful. I look forward to the Strava Athlete Intelligence report after I save an activity, quite motivational😊Get yourself some Sealskinz socks and then you can walk through anything💪
Mark, great to see you back out on the trails and running! Sensible to go around that mud field, looks like some fun weather. Hey, I think Torrent's don't age like fine wine, time to upgrade lol. Cheers.
Thanks mate. I'm finally starting to see a bit of real wear on the Torrents. I was curious to see how long they would keep going. I do more walking than running in them now.
Tinky Winky, a Christmas tree and some barking dogs 😂 a veritable tapas of content! Glad it's all going pretty well - just keep listening to your body and you'll be back to full strength in no time!
hahaha the beginning is epic hahaha I feel like you are making this video to prove to your Achilles who is boss. So happy you are able to get back at it! Wow that field is a mess!
😂👍 I'm having to really work for video ideas while the running is on a back burner. That field will be chest deep in crops by the summer ☀️ I think I prefer that!
Glad to hear that the first run back was promising! You've not been out of running for too long, shouldn't take a while for your heart rate to get back to previous levels!
Great to see you running and moving again. Glad to hear the legs are refreshed and feeling strong. The weather is mad eh? I never know what to wear heading out. Too hot, too cold, too many layers, not enough layers. 😅
Glad the recovery is going so well for you Mark. As always, a sensible approach. I notice that you have a strange compulsion to peer into holes. I am sure that Freud (Sigmund not Clement) had something to say about that. Good to see you back mate.
Weird how youtube works, but just found your account and have subscribed. I am battling with plantar fasciitis but seem to be over worst of it and starting to run more. My focus is 10k at the moment but interested to see how you approach a half it just might inspire me to do one in 2025!
Hi Paul. Yes, RUclips is a weird and wonderful place. Good to hear that you are getting over the injury. Some of them seem to take forever to heal. I guess the key is not to rush things on the way back. I did a 10k earlier this year and it was good fun, if a little wet on the day! Best of luck with your training 👍
Promising news !! As Brodie Sharpe likes to remind us though, that’s the most dangerous time, as most runners dive back in again too much too soon!! Yeah it was weird Sunday 17° here after 5cm of snow during the very chilly week … me too I wore way too much for my run, I didn’t trust the warmth at all!! Cheers Mark 🙋🏻♀️
Hi Bev 👋 Thanks for the timely reminder not to go too hard too soon. I'm holding back quite well for now but it's easy to get carried away. It's gone back to just being cold here now. The snow has thankfully all melted.
@@markg99 The snow was so beautiful while it lasted though... I had a gorgeous Thursday morning walk in the forest with a friend and her dogs and a gorgeous night training session in the forest with the club 🥰
Had 3 weeks off due to decorating and having to walk the dog 4 times a day. Dog walking keeps the fitness up and I'm raring to go again. Having breaks is no bad thing.
I think you're right mate. I'm feeling fresher than I have in a while. The walking and indoor cycling should have helped keep me reasonably fit. I must say I've never done 4 walks per day though 😁👍 kudos to you!

OMG! You have your Christmas 🎄 up in November! It’s November 😂 Nice work with the recovery and run, but I’m struggling to get past the tree 😂
😁 yep! I'm surprised more people didn't comment lol. I leave the girls in charge of that sort of thing. It appears they couldn't wait 🎄😄
Glad to hear that the first run back was promising! You've not been out of running for too long, shouldn't take a while for your heart rate to get back to previous levels!
Yes, so far so good. I'm sure the fitness isn't far away. Thanks, Chloe 🙂
Ah, excellent news, love that first run back after illness or injury 🎉
Thank you! Yes, it's such a relief to get through that first run ok 👍
Great to see you running and moving again. Glad to hear the legs are refreshed and feeling strong. The weather is mad eh? I never know what to wear heading out. Too hot, too cold, too many layers, not enough layers. 😅
Cheers mate. Hopefully you get much better weather in Valencia ☀️👍
Great news Mark! Take it easy mate. Build back into it mate. Looks like a sensible plan for the recovery mate. 😎🤘
Cheers mate. I am being captain cautious at the moment. The last thing I want is a setback 🤞
Glad the recovery is going so well for you Mark. As always, a sensible approach. I notice that you have a strange compulsion to peer into holes. I am sure that Freud (Sigmund not Clement) had something to say about that. Good to see you back mate.
😂😂 thanks mate. Not sure about the hole thing. I really must look into that!
Good news Mark! Slow and steady 👏🏼👏🏼
Also fair to say it’s colder up north 🥶
Cheers Nick. It is a bit chilly up here 😁👍 Scraping my car in the morning is becoming a fairly regular thing!
@ Ha, joy of joys… currently my windscreen is just misting up, but I’m sure a real cold snap will get us southerners eventually 😬
Fingers crossed for you it is all healed! Good news 😊
Thanks a lot, Gary 👍 The signs are good so far 🤞
Good to see you back out there again!
Thanks mate. I've enjoyed the break but I'm more than ready to run a bit more, despite the less than glorious weather!

Looking good Mark! Keep it up. When is the half and ultra in 2025?
Thames, Richard. I'm feeling decent at the moment. The half is mid February, and the ultra is in May 👍
Progress! The plan looks liek a sensible one, lots of listening to the body for a while for sure!
Yes, getting there slowly 🙂👍 I'm enjoying the mixture of activities in the plan at the moment. A big 4k run coming up this weekend 😁
Ooof yuge mileage!
@@AMostlyFunctionalJess 😎💪😂
Your video: Completed it Mate 🤣🤣
😂👍 cheers mate!

@markg99 when I'm running as well as dog walking, I often spend around 2 waking days (34 hours), exercising each week.
@@stevefrith7283 very nice! Talk about time on feet 💪🏃♂️
I’d rather cross a muddy field than spend a night with Uncle Monty 😂
😂 I think we can all agree on that one mate!
Is the Christmas tree up early or just left there from last year to save a job?
😁 I made sure to buy a house with the Christmas tree pre-installed. Can't be messing about with that every year!
@@markg99 Never too early 🤣🤣🎉🎉🎄🎄
