I'm starting physio this week for my ankle injury. I tried a Strava workout last weekend - calorie crusher, and chucked it in after 10 minutes, thinking I was going to die.
I tried a different one this week, but the computer i was using crashed, and Zwift bombed out - that was 15 minutes or so.
I did it again today - 30 mins - and managed to finish it. Still felt like dying at the end - might need to adjust my FTP downwards a bit.
I also did half of Barking parkrun on crutches last week. I got a lift there, averaged 13:28 per mile, overtook 5 people, and stopped at the end of lap 1 so as not to delay my deliverer / taker home.
The moral - avoid fracturing and dislocating anything if you can. It's not much fun. Trying to get fit again and lose a stone is also going to be tricky seeing as I am the wrong side of 40 and genuinely can't be bothered
