Pain means stop

[ZootHornRollo]

To paraphrase Mr Naylor, if I rested every time I had an ache or pain, I'd never get out of bed in the morning.

Ime not Talking about Aches. I meant if there is a constant area thats causing a problem stop and get it sorted

Yes, but there's always a 'but' isn't there. I can't remember ever running through a pain or an injury and regretting it - it's all part of an endurance sport isn't it, not to give in? It's psychologically essential and confidence-building.

I'm not saying you should keep going regardless, but if you get into a mindset of letting niggles and injuries get the better of you then you've lost half the battle.

I only get to the hills every now and again, and if I sacked off the opportunity to run each time I felt crocked, I'd hardly run at all. You grit your teeth through the first five miles and then more often than not, you're fine.

Just my opinion like.

Turning into an interesting debate this

I get tendonitis in achilles, a touch of pf, tight calves, runners knee that comes and goes and I struggle downstairs every morning. Like most things in life its common sense. If you're proper injured you can't run, otherwise just MAN it out

Can i just add that ITBS can't be manned, i manned mine instead of getting it looked at and my constant moaning on here reflects the result.

Wow its incredible the amount of arm chair physios that are arguing with a proper physio (no offence) all id o when im injured is get on the indoor rower or run ont track for a while

[Derby Tup]

Not sure anyone is really arguing Tom Many if not most runners, have niggles, which they tend to ignore. The older you get the more this is likely to be the case.

Good luck. Don't try to run if you can't run properly

Last time I HTFUd my ITB, I couldn't bend it properly for a couple of weeks (kind of important in running) and was out of it for a good few months. Just avoiding making the same mistake twice. A couple of week's rest at this stage, with some appropriate remedial work, should allow me a summer of hassle-free running, rather than a series of aborted attempts to restart and another wasted year.
