But please take a moment to just assess where you are as an athlete right now?
We’ve probably all grown tired of that phrase “the new normal”, but it’s actually appropriate here when we think about returning to group sessions.
2/6
Have you done more, less, or stayed the same over the last 12 months?
Are you the same athlete as the one who attended the last sessions?
Are the people you plan to train with the same?
3/6
Maybe you need to start off with different athletes or a different ability group from normal if you “new” normal is better or worse than the old normal?
4/6
Do you need to spend some time getting back to where you were? or do you have new boundaries to push after a years development?
There’s no right or wrong answer to this?
5/6
Just a suggestion to consider these variables at this time, nothing would be more frustrating than not enjoying the sessions we’ve been so keen to get back to, or worse case, having to miss them through injury by gauging the return wrongly.

I really wish therapists and coaches would stop fear mongering by telling healthy people their “glutes don’t work”.
1/
They may be weaker than optimally wanted in some cases, but, and it’s a big but, glutes don’t work ONLY in the case of spinal cord injury, neurological deficit and extreme invalidity occasionally.
2/
In short, if you can get up from a chair without help, then your glutes work, let alone run, swim or cycle!🤯
Some training may help optimise them of course, but please don’t think your glutes don’t work!🤦🏻♂️
