That is insane! I am so glad everything worked out in the end. Treadmill sounds like it has been clutch for your recovery and progression. Some great tips and advice for folks going through this. Thank you for sharing your journey Martin.

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Sage, aye, really pleased I have a treadmill, it's been a great tool to have. Step by step, I'm getting there 😁🏃‍♂️

@NERunner 3 года назад

That's all positive news, despite any difficulties along the way. My fingers are crossed for your continuing and speedy recovery, Martin 🙂

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Simon, it's all moving in the right direction, it's moving slowly but it's moving 😁🏃‍♂️

@DoseofDirt 3 года назад

Glad things are starting to improve! I can only imagine how badly you want to get out and run! So hard to not be able to do something that has so integral in your life. I know I've said this multiple times, but thank you for sharing the details of your journey! Praying for your continued recovery! 🙏🏻

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks, it seems to be a slow process getting back but step by step, I'm getting there 👍

@michaelsanderson7328 3 года назад

Good to hear positive news! Looking forward to seeing your recovery and back on the road again.

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Michael, I'm certainly getting better, hopefully get to improve a bit quicker here on in 🤞

@markg99 3 года назад

On the right road mate. Sounds like great news. Keep being patient and before you know it this will be a distant memory. Hopefully work won't be too strenuous.

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Cheers Mark, it's actually really hard being patient for so long, I thought that would be the easy bit 🤣

@bikesandlaces 3 года назад

Huge respect for sharing your story, I.sure it I'd a huge help and support to anyone going through anything similar! Sending positive vibes for speedy recoveries!!

@BenNotley 3 года назад

So pleased to hear you're well on the mend now Martin. Sounds like you have been on a absolute roller coaster mate! Sounds like you have been saved by the mill. 😜 you are a absolute hero Martin! Take care, stay safe and you will be out on the trails before you know it. 😎🤘🏻

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Cheers Ben, I was on the trails this morning, albeit a very short trail at a very slow pace but it should become slightly less slow each week 😁🏃‍♂️

@brianjohnston2959 3 года назад

Thanks for the honest update, including the details. It was informative-I feel more knowledgeable as well as in a better position to understand and appreciate the prostate cancer journey. From dribbles, to Netflix tripods and treadmills, my our recovery be steady and safe.

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Brian, it's been a whole new world of information for me, I'm glad these videos have brought the ins and outs to more people and hopefully might be of use to someone in the same situation 👍

I'm glad you're on the right track Martin! I can't wait to see your next run! ✌️

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

You and me both Mihai 😀🏃‍♂️

@essextrails 3 года назад

So glad you are now finally over the worst Martin. There I was moaning about a pulled calf muscle! At 74, I know all about the dribbling now. Great to see you looking better, I hope you feel well enough to go out for a walk soon. Don't do too much at work. Take care.

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Peter, I'm getting more walks in now, some feel easier than others but I'm making good progress each week. I hope your calf has settled, calf injuries can linger a lot longer than you want them to 👍

@Runningmansam 3 года назад

I didn’t even realise you was going through this mate. Horrible to hear about the pain you’ve had but really appreciate hearing this experience and it’s very brave to talk about it so openly. Very true what you are saying about the treadmill as well. Hope It continues to improve for you and I’ll watch this More closely

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Sam, aye it's certainly thrown a spanner in the works in lots of ways. I'm past the worst stage and it's a matter being patient now and gradually getting back to it 👍

@Axewarriorz 3 года назад

Hi Martin. I've found your vlogs very informative. I'm in the pre-operation stage. I have options and like you im erring towards having the bugger out. I'm an avid snowboarder and musician (guitarist)and am hoping that a trip to the alps will be possible the coming season. I watched each video and noticed the last was May. How are you doing now? Are you running again? Is life normalising somewhat? Thank you so much for this channel and look forward to hearing about your progress. All my very best. Edward

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Thanks Edward, I hope everything goes smoothly for you, it's a lot to take in. I'm still improving, not back to the level of fitness I'd have liked to have been but have slowly started running again. Some folks seem to heal quicker than others but I'd say airing on the side of caution, it's looking like it'll be 6 months post op before I'm doing things properly again. You may be quicker but everyone is different. Hopefully you'll be back to it in time for the winter season if you choose the removal and you don't have to wait long?

@chamonixcabs 3 года назад

Good to hear you are on the road to recovery. A walk is just a slow run Martin 😜. I always thought you talked bollocks!!

@chamonixcabs 3 года назад

Don't reply to that!! Bad joke.

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Looking forward to my 1st run, I'm sure the walks will improve this week. I could have gone into more details on the bollocks but thought I'd best hold back with that 🤣

@TheDeterminedRunner 3 года назад

Aye that's all right, we have to have some humor 🤣

What caused the blood clots in the bladder?

@TheDeterminedRunner 11 месяцев назад

I don't actually know, but in rare cases, it can happen. I guess I'm a rare case!

@anthonymiller6081 11 месяцев назад

@@TheDeterminedRunner glad you got through it OK. Have you go e back to running? I like running as well. What about the leakage and use of pads after operation?

@TheDeterminedRunner 11 месяцев назад

@@anthonymiller6081 Running is remarkably still off & on, I see the chronic pain physio at the hospital still. I am doing much more than 6 months ago but not as much as I'd like to be doing. Pad-wise, again I seemed to be a rare case & was pad free a month later! Something had to go my way 😀

@anthonymiller6081 11 месяцев назад

@@TheDeterminedRunner glad you didn't have to use pads for too long. That's a bonus for sure. I'm still not sure IF I have cancer or not and won't know until the biopsy is done. I'm hoping for the best of course. If I have to have my prostate removed my main concerns are obviously using pads, sex life afterwards, leakage and of course pain associated with surgery. All the information you've provided in your videos is extremely helpful and it prepares those who have to go what you experienced. How long has it been now since your surgery? Have you run any marathons since your surgery or any half marathons? I love the outdoors and jogging, exercising as much as my age and body allows.

@TheDeterminedRunner 11 месяцев назад

@@anthonymiller6081 It's been 25 months since surgery, sadly I've not been able to get back to marathon distance yet due to ongoing pain, though my firm plan is to get back to ultra distance in time. I do hope everything goes well for you with the results 👍
