I really can't wait though. For the 20 or so minutes of sprints that I did, I remembered how much I love running. HATE long distance- love the short stuff. |
Don't do it dude. Give it more time. If it was anything at all, 2 weeks isn't enough.
I've been there. I hurt it sprinting and tried to play basketball after a couple weeks. I hurt it jumping. Not extending or getting down the court.
If you do, I'd run about half speed and work on getting your stride out there but not putting a lot of power.
Then when you do start again, I'd run into your start, don't start from a stop.
Be the hell careful. Mine felt pretty good but was shit. It took me forever to get over it. Maybe yours wasn't as severe, but just be careful.
