  1. I used to run 50km per week and a regualr half marathoner. I am in week 12 after undergoing a right leg bypass which managed to save my right foot from amputation. The bypass graft has since stop functioning. I have to take good care of my right foot to avoid getting ulcers or wounds as blood circulation is poor in the right foot. Relying on collaterial blood vessels is the only way to keep my right leg. I can walk non stop with mild calf claudification up to 1 hour now (PB under 16min/km). I am hoping to restart my running gradually by using hop skip running gait(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm7JNxxZOV0&t=546s similar to people with a prothestic leg. After reading your website, i have a feeling i aay be able to start with low impact running style techniques since my dondition is not PAD. The doctors are still investigating the cause of my right leg blood clot. Any suggesions on how to restart rnning.

    • My bypass graft has just failed after 4 years. I had Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome so the doctor performed a bypass graft using my saphenous vein. He now wants to perform another bypass using my vein from my other leg but I don’t want to undergo another surgery. I have been researching how to build up my collateral blood vessels. I have started by swimming with lots of kicking. I’m curious if you have any suggestions on how to build up the collateral vessels. Thanks
