Sorry to hear about your slow recovery, ...Hi Chris,<br />Sorry to hear about your slow recovery, I really hope you get back to top form ASAP. While it may be stating the obvious, if you can't really run at present I would very seriously advise doing non-weight bearing cross training as an alternative e.g. depending on the ankle etc, seated rowing, swimming, possibly cycling (whether on the road or on a stationary bike) - and so on.
