How is training going?

Hopefully, you have not experienced any niggles from running yet. If so, replace running with aqua jogging and you will hardly lose any running fitness, especially if you do some intensity in non-weight bearing sports like swimming and riding. Not putting on weight is the hard part while not running. You might have to reduce your carbs intake a bit until you are back running.

Aqua jogging can be done in a class, with a belt and in the ocean with a wetsuit on. Make sure you keep your body upright, focus on cadence and on creating full circles with your legs.
You’ll need a strong and compact arm movement in the water to keep you afloat and help with your forward momentum…

Please do 5 to 10 min easy jog warm up and warm down & keep running every second day only.

If you want to do extra activities in the middle of those two days, pick something like yoga, Pilates, swimming, walking or riding…
