Return to Running After Injury · Berlin & Online
Cleared to run again but nervous about doing too much, too soon? I coach a safe, structured comeback, a gradual walk-run progression, the right strength work, and a plan that rebuilds your confidence as much as your fitness. In Berlin or online.
A physio helps you heal, then you’re often left on your own to figure out how to actually start running again. That’s exactly where most re-injuries happen: too much, too soon. I coach the bridge back, with the patience and structure a comeback needs.
We rebuild running volume step by step, enough to progress, never so much that you flare things up again.
Targeted strength work to shore up the weak links, so your body can handle the miles.
Attention to how you move, drawing on a background in biomechanics, to take pressure off the injured area.
Clear, manageable steps rebuild trust in your body, so you stop second-guessing every run.
We start from your clearance and history, what happened, what you can currently do, and your goal to get back to.
A gentle, progressive return that respects healing tissue and builds load you can tolerate.
As you adapt, we add volume, strength and structure, steadily, with weekly check-ins.
Return to normal training and your goals, healthier and more durable than before.
This is coaching, not medical treatment. It complements the work of your doctor and physiotherapist. I don’t diagnose or treat injuries. Once you’ve been cleared to return to running, I build and manage the safe, progressive plan that gets you back to full training.
Meet your coach
I’m Colly McGrane, an Irish running coach based in Berlin, with a B.Sc. in Environmental Science & Health and a strong interest in biomechanics and injury prevention. I coach patient, structured comebacks, the kind that get you not just running again, but running more durably than before. In Berlin or online.
Start with a free consultation. Tell me where you’re at and we’ll map out a safe way back.
With a gradual, structured walk-run progression that rebuilds load safely, once you’ve been cleared by a physio or doctor to return to running.
It depends on the injury and your clearance. Coaching begins once a physio or doctor has cleared you to start loading, then we progress at a pace your body can handle.
Yes. This coaching complements medical and physiotherapy care and doesn’t diagnose or treat injuries. Once you’re cleared to return to running, I build the safe plan to get you back.
Yes, the plan includes gradual load, supporting strength and attention to running form and biomechanics to reduce the risk of re-injury.
A staged plan that alternates walking and running, gradually increasing running time as your body adapts, until you’re back to full continuous training.
Both, the comeback is coached online with weekly WhatsApp check-ins, and in person in Berlin.
