Yeah go easy on yourself, it really is annoyingly slow to heal.
@SideshowBob that guy has such a beautiful stride, so effortless.

Cheers for all the advice regarding running on a broken rib. As @inchpincher said peak pain was about 7 days after the initial fracture. Apparently, that’s when the bone has healed itself and has formed a ‘scab’.
I’ve been able to run but taking it quite easy. My main issue is that I’m starting to develop a bad back which I’m attributing to the weird sleeping set-up I’ve got going so that I’m not putting any pressure on the broken side of my rib cage.
I did foolishly go for a swim which definitely flared up the pain quite significantly.
