Yes
Ask physio, but something like a run walk for a start.
30s run 30s walk x 5
2 mins rest
Repeat twice
FinishedIt will feel like a waste of time, but the point is to do a tiny bit of running with lots of gaps so you can feel how your body is taking it. And stop if anything feels unhappy
Increase this over a couple of weeks
Just IMO but an opinion formed through years of stop/start and reoccurring injuries!

Might also be worth starting with a mix of treadmill/eliptical to ease back in

5 weeks tomorrow since last proper run, 4 weeks tomorrow since a slow recovery 10km, suffering with shin splints ever since. Been in and out of physio, lots of calf strengthening, run assessment and proper shoes bought. Tried a couple of easier 5km over the past 4 weeks, last one coming on 2 weeks ago and left me in pain for the first half of the week so opted to do zero running til I felt better. Have physio in half an hour but for the first time I can jog on the spot with zero pain.
So….
Going to attempt an easy run tomorrow, but is it a daft idea to go straight into a 5k?
Fitness is fine as I’ve keep up swim and bike while not running.
