What it is

Understanding return to running

Whether after injury, surgery, pregnancy, or years away, returning to running works best with a structured, graded progression — one that builds tissue tolerance faster than it builds mileage.

Common symptoms

  • Pain or stiffness when attempting to run again
  • Fear of aggravating a previous injury
  • Poor tolerance for previous running volumes
  • Uncertainty about how fast to progress
  • Recurring setbacks with each attempt

Common causes

  • Injury or surgery interrupting training
  • Post-partum return to impact activity
  • Extended time away from running
  • Underlying strength or capacity deficits

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

We assess your current capacity, then build a walk-run progression matched to it, alongside strength work for the calves, hips, and trunk that running demands. Clear weekly targets, clear rules for progressing or holding — so you build back without the boom-bust cycle.

This page is general information, not a diagnosis. A one-on-one assessment is the right way to find out what's going on with your body.
