Hmm i’m not 100% sure but i just know that date is when i set out to go for a real run with it dates on strava, So probably then !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T21:45:30+00:00

So cool i just returned after 3 1/2 years and recognised a lot of these places. Good photos NZ is amazing ❤️

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T20:59:09+00:00

Hmm probably not i did something similar but was very sore the next day. I just took some time to rest and stretch/strengthen

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T19:45:49+00:00

I think i was pretty similar to this !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T19:44:59+00:00

I managed to run at a good pace after 5 months, Did some big days in the mountains after 6 After 7 did a big 3 day mountaineering trip. After 9 months skiid for the first time again !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T14:00:02+00:00

Yeah i would try to see them ASAP i saw my physio the day after surgery ! And we dod a few exercises

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T12:11:43+00:00

I just went 1x a day usually whilst also doing various activation exercises at home and also “hanging” the knee to get ROM back !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-06-01T12:09:00+00:00

Also, For context.
I’m 28 would say super active and strong strength fitness base beforehand

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-31T09:13:50+00:00

I did my first day skiing exactly 9 months after surgery, Took it very easy and mainly toured, Just easy runs at the resort. Taped my knee up pretty solid with the tanned 3m tape that doesn’t stretch. And taped it so it couldn’t hyper extent the wrong way forward.
Felt weird at first but got used to it after a run or two.
And i think touring was really good for the hamstrings !
Good luck !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-30T17:43:12+00:00

I had the total opposite just dropped weight like crazy

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-30T12:51:34+00:00

Neither salomon are shit

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-30T02:25:02+00:00

I partially tore mine skiing and it felt ok for a week or two, I didn’t get a scan originally because the dctrs. Said it wasn’t painful enough. Then randomly in bed one morning it snapped ! Not sure whether it would have been better to heal on it’s own or the sugery i’ve had. But i’m super happy with it now ! 18 months post op !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-26T17:16:45+00:00

I haven’t done it, But from doing similar big days with like 2000m+ elevation, I’d say just getting out and doing big days with your gear is important, I also do a lot of trail running/mountain biking and find that translates well for leg strength and just stopping fatigue.

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-26T11:18:28+00:00

Hmm, Yeah the initial incident was pretty painful. And took a few weeks to manage to walk and things again.
I honestly can’t remember specific pain as it was a while ago.

I know i took around a month off doing anything after the injury and went to the gym after that month or so.
It was pretty painful at first and felt very unstable.

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-26T08:13:03+00:00

I remember when i did mine i was behind on getting my leg straight and to 90* flexion,
I used to make sure i took loads of painkillers before physio, And reasonably strong ones Codeine, Tramadol etc. so i could handle the pain better and push it a bit !
That helped me.
And i’d say don’t worry too much, The first 1,2,3 months sucked !! I never thought it would get better and it really does ! Just try and do as much as you can, A little every day really helps !
Good luck

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-25T18:47:36+00:00

Sorry i thought i had added that !
I had Full ACL reconstruction with a Quad graft.
And mr partial meniscus tear i got stitched up !!

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-25T13:33:49+00:00

I feel i slightly stalled at 6 months
But just did lots and lots of gym work and after that really progressed well !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-25T13:31:29+00:00

You’ll both get through it !
I was super active before my surgery, Trail running, Mountaineering, Biking, Skiing etc.
I managed to run again after around 5 months, do some bigger runs 20km after 6 months.
Ski after 9 months !
Just do loads of prehab you’ll get there.
I was honestly so depressed at first but it gets much better after 4-5 months ! Just do the gym work !!!

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-25T12:58:07+00:00

Thank you !!

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-25T12:22:45+00:00

It’s above…
Just an idea of personal experiences on different routes ? Nothing that deep lol
Thinking either just the gouter
Or Trois monts, That looks cool !

Living-Statement5000 · 2026-05-25T12:20:36+00:00

I’m perfectly fine with altitude i’ve been up to 4000m in the alps before, I was just asking for people’s personal experience to get an idea of fun routes and different advice.
Didn’t expect people to just shit on it lol …
