How to Modify Training Post Meniscus Surgery
Today marks 3 weeks post surgery. I am in Wk 6 IM Full training plan. How should I be modifying my training until I can run again? I have been on elliptical and pool running but hope to try a walk/run on Boardwalk tomorrow before my bike

I am feeling good at this point. My cycling is almost back to normal. Running is going well. After ten weeks of OS, my VDOT is back to 40, which is where I did IMLP a few months before my surgery, but below the 42 that I reached at the end of the 2016/17 Outseason plan. My cumulative fitness, using the fitness/freshness feature on Strava (like CTL on TP) showed a huge drop while I was waiting for surgery. However, it has climbed steeply since I started cycling with intensity after week-8.
Hope this experience is helpful. Best of luck! My post-surgery experience has been surprisingly positive. I hope yours is as well.
