just been at lydd for some training for my afghan tour for matts tests and medical etc.looking forward to getting away with the lads to kick some ass only to tear a ligament in my foot.now off for ages to heal and will lose most my fitness as cant run and tab.gutted
Not good for you I did my knee in leapfrogging up a hill in trade training, screwed me up for ages (total dislocation of the right patella, painful), though you have the alternative above but its not as good for keeping the stamina up
You could ask your physio if you can do swimming sooner rather than later to get back up to fitness? it may help in the healing process
Swimming would be great if/when you would be allowed to do it as it won't put as much strain on your foot as what other excercise would, yet it will still keep your fitness levels up.
going to be going gym every other day for my weights and use the swimming pool each day and just let me feet drag behind me(always been lazy swimmer and hardly use my legs as loads of upper body strength.just pissed as off for 4-6 weeks then another check-up.if dont get on next tour will have to wait til next year and go with 3 commando.
Sorry to hear about that disappointment, hope it sorts out soon.
We used to drive the Ghurka's around the world quite a bit. They were as nice as pie, and when we had their families on board, the children were unbelievably polite and well behaved.
I bet you are enjoying your tour with them, curries and all!
