Over the last few weeks, I’ve slowly managed to return to Rugby after tearing my meniscus in December last year. Had I not rushed back into too much too soon, I would’ve been back enjoying training much sooner instead of continually going through rehab sessions.
I know that a few members of Rebuild can sometimes struggle when injuries keep them from training or doing things in the gym that they enjoy. It can seem difficult to train with some restrictions when you feel like you may be able to Rx a certain workout. However, in saying that, being smart about how you return to your previous workload is important.
It may not seem like it at the time but sometimes less is more. Take time in between training to recover and trust that the plan that’s been given to you will get you back. Take the small wins.
Little by little, a little becomes a lot.
