In this episode of the RunRX Podcast, we are going to talk about how you should come back to running if you were on a break. If you were ever sick, injured, or inactive for a very long time, then listen to this episode.

The Challenge

[01:50] If you were already working out, have a good routine, and took time off or got sick, then you have to come back with a long warm-up. Then, start working the routine back in. When you get sick, injured, or become inactive for a long time, you should focus on movement. Focus on warming up for a long time and targeting those hips, ankles, and joints, and just getting good movement in your body.

Transitioning the Body

[03:22] Spend the first few workouts listening to your body. If you push yourself right away, you might get your heart rate high. So listen to your body’s signals. If you spend a good time warming up, your body will feel good. That is where you start your movements and push yourself little by little.

Coming Back to the Movement

[04:14] Instead of thinking that you have to come back and run your usual distance of let’s say three miles, run and move for 20 minutes and just see how it feels to your body. Do a little bit of movement, drill a little, run a little walk, stop and reset, and get just to where you're just moving again. Then just feel how the movement feels. You are re-teaching yourself the correct way to move. And that's the best way to get back to the movement.

The 30-Day Reboot

[06:12] Each workout video of RunRX’s 30-Day Reboot has its own thing to do. There are skills, self-care, etc. The idea is to build around that and use the tools to bring yourself back to the correct movements. It breaks down everything and teaches you about running differently and moving differently. It helps you restart your movement or come back into your movement.
