Galloway returns to running

Leeds prop Keith Galloway has taken an important step on the road to full recovery from an Achilles tendon injury which he suffered in last season’s penultimate game.

The injury kept him out of Scotland’s squad for the Four Nations last autumn.

He is now running again on an Alter G treadmill, which decreases the load on the legs by reducing the user’s body weight.

“It was extremely challenging for me not being able to walk initially after the operation, then obviously starting to walk again but not being able to jog or run which I usually do every day for work was hard,” said Galloway.
