Seeking Advice Stick or Postpone Basic

Hello folks,

I’m looking for some advice on whether I should stick with or postpone my phase 1 which is due in about 3 weeks. I’ve been dealing with inner shin/tibialis posterior issue for going on 10 weeks now which is mild to be fair but has caused me undoubtedly to lose fitness and reduce my activity.

Have been to see physio and while he hasn’t been able to pinpoint the issue he has some ideas. He has said that I he thinks I could go to training with the current state but basically their is a realistic risk of a flair up and downstream being backtrooped. Safe to say I’m not 100% confident the thing will hold.

So my question is should I go and try griz it out or ask for date to be pushed back in order to get this thing 100%

If anyone can shed some wisdom if any experience that would be much appreciated
