Hi acggirl, I had the op 3 years ago. Went  in to hospital at 8am and was out for lunch time.  Checking back on my running logs I ran 5 days later, did note that I felt a bit sluggish next few runs, but not bad enough to stop me running.   I can remember doing a body pump class about 9 days later and had a weird sensation when doing core work so wouldn't recommend anything like that for a few weeks after the op.

Everyone is different and I think it depends on the individual, and as the above posts say, a few days off and an easy week won't do your training any harm.

Last year I had a marathon in Oct and dreaded the thought of 2 weeks training right in the middle of my plan in sunny Cyprus, I started my plan 2 weeks early to allow for 2 easy weeks when I was on holiday, you could maybe try that.  

Lochaber is in Fort William, think itis the 10th April.  Not done it before but I think it is flat.  Done an easy 5 miles this morning and thought am I really up to all this marathon training again, so sooooon ?????  Going to give myself 4 weeks to decide.

Tricia, Colhum,  fancy lochaber myself, only thing putting me off......is it not an out and back course???

Never came down from my marathon high until midweek lol.

Done London last year in pretty warm conditions, give me the wind and rain any day, think last weeks weather was spot on, one of the reason I won't do Edinburgh is it's always hot.
