We don’t know for sure what the best protocol is, but I think running for 4 Months and then taking a 2 week break is a sensible approach.

I had a really good upper session this morning. A solo session today as my usual Tuesday training partner has been away and isn’t back training until next week.

Tomorrow will be legs, so I’ll just have to see what I can do with this annoyingly tight glute until I can get to see my therapist on Thursday!

This is great to hear! I’m really pleased that you’ve taken all of the advice on board and making some good progress. Keep the questions coming if you need any more help along the way.

A good rest day so far. I managed a short run this morning, but I can still feel the tight piriformis, so definitely need to get that looked at this week, otherwise I’ll just make it worse running through it. Other than that, I’ve been getting on with some jobs around the house, tidying up the garden and will get stuck into some work, reading and research this afternoon.

I think Glutathione is worth adding for it’s effects on inflammation, which can help calm angry skin down. The combination on GHK-cu, KPV and Glutathione should work really well.

Today was a Leg day. I had to adapt slightly and feel out movements that didn’t cause any pain through the glute, but I actually managed to have a really good session, and found that the mobilisation, stretching, and using other muscles around the area actually freed it up a bit. I can’t get to see my therapist until Thursday, so will just play things by ear up until then as to what I am able to do.

Everyone responds differently, as Hilly says, and baseline levels will always be individual too. This is why getting regular bloodwork before starting any assistance, during, and after cycles is always a good idea to monitor your own response and trends.

I’m still getting some pain through my right glute and down my leg, so I opted not to run this morning and have a full day’s rest instead. My husband is home, so we went out for the morning, had a coffee, walked along the beach front and stopped for lunch, which was lovely. We’re just going to chill at home this afternoon and I’ll catch up on a few jobs, while he goes for a cycle.

All looks fine to me if the foods digest well for you, and you feel your performance, sleep and recovery is good. The only thing I would change is having a cyclic dextrin based carb intra workout, as oppose to maltodextrin as it digests much better. tbJP Performance fuel or Sustain are good options.

Just do it where it fits in best with your life and schedule. Doing cardio away from training would be preferable if you were able to do so, but you’re not, so don’t worry. There are plenty of good athletes who will have done the same and still progressed well.

I went for another early run this morning, only a short one as I’ve got a bit of piriformis syndrome going on, which is aggravating my runs at the moment. I’m going to get it looked at and hopefully released next week, but in the meantime I’ll do lots of stretches and some neural flossing to try and ease it a bit myself. I also went to my reformer Pilates class this morning and will be going out this afternoon to meet up with my Mum for a catch up.

You should be back training within 2-4 weeks if the recovery goes well. GHK will have some benefits post surgery by stimulating collagen production and helping with wound healing. I would personally get some KLOW, which is a blend of GHK cu, BPC 157, TB 500 and KPV, which should help significantly.

I had a pretty disrupted sleep last night, thanks to the heat. Our bedroom is a furnace atm and the fans all around me just seem to circulate the hot air! Anyway, I got up early and did a run before the temperature got unbearable and have just been getting on with some work this morning. I have a hair appointment to get to this afternoon, which I’m not really looking forward to.. I just hope they have air con!

Thank you all. I get my MRI results back in a couple days but I’ll start contacting some private surgeons now. Including the one Adam mentioned.

Many thanks

This is definitely the best move. You want to get surgery done asap if it’s a full rupture, to increase the chance of full recovery and regaining full ROM and strength back.

Today was legs.. and a very hot, sweaty one! It was a good session, but felt tough in this heat. I’m back up to my usual volume and intensity, now that I’ve eased myself back into training post holiday.
