Coming back to running after an injury? Don’t make your first run your fitness test. Returning too quickly is one of the common reasons runners struggle with setbacks.
In this video, Greg Cooper, Performance Coach at In Step Physical Therapy, shares a safe return-to-running plan to help runners rebuild strength, confidence, and performance.

Check your readiness – Make sure you can walk, squat, perform calf raises, and complete single-leg movements with control.
Start with a walk-run program – Gradually increase running time and intensity.
Improve running mechanics – Move efficiently and reduce unnecessary stress on your joints.
Prioritize recovery – Allow your body time to adapt between runs.
Build strength alongside running – Improve stability and resilience with targeted exercises.
