    That’s impressive dedication Ben. I’ve taken to exploring even more remote trails here in Norway to avoid people as best possible. Great opportunity to increase distance and bring in some well needed variety in the training. Never thought I’d be watching a bloke hobbling up and down a car park as evening entertainment 😅

    You're doing so great Ben , hope your recovery continues to go well.
    I'm still out running solo but thats nothing new , I only run with people at parkrun . Just giving people a wider berth than normal.
    Good luck and stay safe🏃‍♂️

    Glad to hear you are recovering well Ben! Love your videos.
    At the moment I am trying to run at least 10km a day at easy pace to build up a good base while we are in quarantine and only allowed out once a day! Hopefully when parkruns re-open I will be able to smash my PB (currently 19:51).
    Keep up the videos and I look forward to your next one! Also, thanks for being such an inspiration!

    Good on you Ben, getting it Done! Non stop raining here for a few days here in New Zealand so I’ve been trying some treadmill work outs, normally can’t stand treadmill training, manage to tape my iPad to the treadmill, it’s an old treadmill I bought for $50 5 years ago has come in very handy so with some music & a you tube running video is a huge help, did 3 hours on the treadmill haha yepppy!

    Ben as someone with the same plate and screws in my fibula; MAKE SURE YOU TRY TO RECOVER FULL RANGE OF MOTION before just slamming the mileage on it I know it'll "feel ok" going in a straight line but absolutely do NOT neglect agility and range of motion in your rehab. my plated ankle never recovered full R.O. M because i jumped right back into football season full blast

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  4 роки тому

      Yes.. I am working on the range of motion a lot.. constantly comparing my two feet! It’s coming back.. as it gets stronger I’ll start building up more strength in it. Appreciate the note, thank you!

    Hi. Videos have been so inspirational. I broke my ankle 5 weeks ago hiking the Camino Portuguese in Portugal. Just curious your thoughts on shoes when coming back to hiking or running. When I injured my foot, I was hiking in the Hoka Speedgoat 4. I really love the hokas but wondering if the high stack height on the cushion somehow contributed to the ankle injury. Would love your thoughts.

  • @vaizardboy
    @vaizardboy 4 роки тому +2

    Work, more work and a whole lot of bodyweight workouts in the evening (pull-ups, muscle-ups etc).
    Going to the pool to work on the ankle for mobility and a little strength would definitely speed up that rehabilitation process once the coronavirus season is over. Aquatic work does wonders to the joints :)
    In the meantime, stay positive and keep #gettingitdone !

  • @BenHelmsCreative

  • @LuisBecerra79
    @LuisBecerra79 4 роки тому

    We can still go outside to run, but all the public parks are closed, so people can’t gather in just one place, i can run on the road. I ran a PB on March 8 half marathon, everything after that started to get cancelled, since i ran in 1:30:58 i did take 2 weeks kind of off, but i have been running at least 2 or 3 times a week, until all this pandemic calm down. . Take your time Ben, it’s better that you heel your ankle properly, than rush it and don’t heel like you shloud.

    Good work Ben! Just wondering why you didn't go outside and get some sunshine and vitamin D?! I had a good 17km run today in the woods and fields I live in probably the most rural part of UK. I stopped swimming last week due to the leisure centre being closed. So went from running to swimming and now back to running again. Business as usual for me, I love running outside and it's much more fun than on a treadmill, get to explore the different trails and find new routes all the time. Roads seem quieter too, noticed the birds singing more than usual! Get well soon!

    We (New Zealand) go into full lockdown in a few hours. Outdoor exercise from home is allowed, but I'm unsure how my running will go. I dont expect to get too far down the road without being stopped, and possibly asked where I have come from, how long I will be out, and where i am going.

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  4 роки тому +1

      It is a little scary.. but so long as everyone is sensible there's no reason why all running can't carry on as normal. In the UK we can run once per day at the moment, well I can't.. but everyone else can!! At the moment there's no enforcement here.. 99% of people seems to stick to the rules, so hope that stays the same and we can also get some progress on getting the virus sorted! All the best Jonathan, hope your running carry on as normal!

    Here in Italy we have a stricter lockdown every week. Now we technically can go outside to do some running only very close to our houses (200-500 m) and of course keeping distance from others.
    I do some short easy runs following the rules, but I find discouraging the hate and rage from people from the windows and on the streets insulting you and yelling at you because you don't stay at home...lot of hate and rage going on...everybody is mad after 3 weeks of lockdown....and runners are a target of this hate.
    So I may quit even if I am actually following the rules

    Made the difficult decision at the weekend to take a hiatus from running during the current health crisis. Due to the nice weather there were a lot of people out and didn't seem worth taking the risk of running through whatever they're expelling! Now we're in effective lock down, gonna just stay indoors and stick to the bike turbo trainer and general strengthening work.
    Crazy to see everywhere is selling out of treadmills! Was considering getting one but would struggle to fit it in my flat and now it seems, it's nigh on impossible to get one anyway!

    A parking lot is still a common area, you shouldn't be exercising there. Anything outside your house it's a no no in the current situation. You should be taking care of yourself and the others. This is not motivational, this is just dumb and irresponsible.
