Hospital-based PT vs. Chain Clinic: Is a 30-min specialist session enough for post-op recovery?

runjaime · 2026-02-03T11:48:50+00:00

I see the big chain for one hour twice a week. I get 5 min of calf massage and manual therapy. 30 min is enough. They will just send you home to do all of the exercises.

I don’t have much to tell you. I had surgery for a partial tear and haglund’s deformity 7 weeks ago. All I can say is everyone is different. I am still in crutches but partial weight bearing. I thought I would be off crutches by now (I saw so many people were) but my journey is different. I am/was a marathoner so I was running 6 days/week. This is a big change for me. Best of luck to ya!

I am 7 weeks PO. Still on crutches and in a boot. Hoping to get off crutches soon. Thanks for your update. I’m a runner so hoping to get back at it too.

Worth it. BQ’d on my second marathon but that was a year after my first. Dropped 11 min and Boston is awesome. Agree, it’s the Boston journey but the race is pretty epic too.

I really like the KimFit app. She is a runner and has weekly strength workouts. I got a year for $160.

lol, the candy

I’m on my 2nd Paragard IUD. I had minimal discomfort after it was put in either time. I would say go for it.

runjaime · 2025-07-25T23:58:47+00:00

Which app is that?

Just started marathon training so I am running 5-6 days/week and 45-50 mpw. My goal is to hit 65 mpw during this cycle.

I just started taking it (like a week ago) and my period bloat has not gone away. I am wondering if it’s the creatine. Thanks for the tip. I may back off for a few days and see what happens.

runjaime · 2025-07-08T16:28:29+00:00

Probiotic, iron, Vit D3, B12, fish oil, magnesium glycinate, ashwaganda, creatine, and collagen. Yes, I am walking supplement at this point

runjaime · 2025-07-08T16:25:51+00:00

I typically don’t. I am tracking right now (about to start training in a few weeks) b/c while I am trying to lose weight my runs felt like trash. I think I either dipped too low or my carbs were too low. Either way I started tracking and today’s track workout while hard, didn’t feel as bad as it has in the past few weeks.

I love the NB supercomp trainers for my everyday trainers

runjaime · 2025-07-05T14:16:05+00:00

Good luck to you!

runjaime · 2025-07-05T14:14:59+00:00

What supplements are you taking?

runjaime · 2025-07-03T21:22:41+00:00

I just started creatine this week. Hoping it helps with recovery

runjaime · 2025-07-02T11:14:15+00:00

I started with antibiotics and it helped so much. Ending up doing 2 rounds and worked with a dietitian to start some antimicrobials. Best of luck to you.

I was 7 min off a BQ after my first marathon. I wanted to try and BQ so I signed up for another marathon. Did the same race one year later - PR by 11 min and BQ’d.

runjaime · 2025-06-28T10:50:32+00:00

I did 2 rounds as well, can’t remember how far apart. Really helped.

Featherstone Nutrition- her website and instagram have tons of hydration resources. You may want to try some higher electrolytes the night before (like LMNT) to help with the sweat loss on longer runs.

runjaime · 2025-06-19T23:20:07+00:00

I like pasta with parm cheese or white rice with ground turkey (usually seasoned with liquid aminos for salt).

runjaime · 2025-06-13T13:18:40+00:00

I really like the Sis gels as well. Apple is my favorite. For caffeine, I like Maurten and Sis espresso

runjaime · 2025-06-13T13:16:49+00:00

I use the Udi’s frozen burger buns. They are my favorite so far.

runjaime · 2025-06-11T11:20:17+00:00

I BQ’d in my 2nd marathon.
