INJURED Demon Brody Mihocek revealed he's taken a positive step in his recovery from a neck fracture.

Speaking to Channel 7 ahead of Melbourne's Friday Night clash with Geelong, Mihocek revealed he has hit the ground running.

"I started running today which is a positive and the last couple of weeks I've been doing a bit of gym," Mihocek says.

"It makes me happy getting some exercise in and at least getting around everyone."

"I just ran around the Tan. The sun was out and I had a smile on my face the whole way around."
