Thanks for that RVN. We recently had various free health/fitness assessment tests at work and one thing that did become clear was that I needed some work on back strength/flexibility, something I've struggled with since a cycling accident in 2000.
Perhaps I need to finally get to those pilates classes or back to circuit training to help the core stability once the calf problem has cleared.
Well hello AGAIN, fans of misery!
Iliotbial band stuff:wadda you know??
Time to take my own life with a teaspoon, or just a passing phase??
Off to my fantastic (+ long suffering) physiotherapist on Monday....shall I take a box of tissues??..........Oh, NO smutty replies to that one, puhleese!
Just realised that I can't spell ITB.
Oops.
Not recovered from knee op then! Too much too soon? (it's been 3 months)
Dunno about today's injuries - tomorrows are blisters courtesy of Snowdon!
One race in 3 months and three weeks of achilles misery.
I'm trying to do all the right things (as suggested in THE FELLRUNNER) but any ideas on the speed of any comeback??
How long does it take to get back to running?
How long should I start with?
Physios are wonderful.... my shin splints are getting better - but after last night's treatment with thumbs my leg is sore to touch. I'm biking instead of running for a bit - hoping to start doing some very easy running next week.
I blame the weather for my injury, and being off work. Hence doing a stupid amount of running and forgetting to have rest days.
Chugger - I don't know about achilles problems - I've never had one. I did find some interesting things on injuredrunner.com today though.
