This is getting silly

Can't understand why Amex has lost his sex drive (see smoking thread)

That made me chuckle merry!!

I think my physio was basically telling me to harden tfu yesterday.

Told me to try running on it, but to take it easy: start with slow 10 minutes and build up slowly.

Said from the movement of my leg, increased flexibility, decreased tightness following my exercises there should be no reason for it to hurt. To try a light run as above, and if does hurt, may need to get a cortizone injection.

Here goes then...but not today. Going to Bristol and back. Better get crackin' as I've got to fill up!

Bye.

And how's that gone for you, Pengy?

I was holding back because I wss having the niggles when I tried running on it in Jan/Feb when it blew up again. Thing is I went straight into 3-4mi runs at a decent pace.

Hopefully a slower build up and more patience will be the difference. Fingers crossed for me!

Do some squats with weights from time to time to. Aiming to strengthen my quads like your wall sits. Might try these instead though, as more likely to do more often.

Could be this that is buggering you up. Squatting is quite difficult to get right apparently most people are taught in the gym to squat with a narrow stance and with toes pointing forwards, maybe only going half way down? This seems to bugger the knees very quickly I found this link on another forum this may be of interest to you.

Cheers for this, but I started getting a bit worried when I got to the section 'how to reduce butt wink'!!

I do tend to watch my form quite closely, and my weights aren't anything too heavy (2x15kg dumbells), but maybe I do need to pay more attention to it. Left the physios yesterday with a new one legged squat anyway, which develops the stability as well as the strength, so will probably focus more on these anyway.

SS, do you remember when you asked me for my friends number *Andy* who is the Health Trainers Manager... Do you still have his number, maybe you should give him a call and ask his advice.

How long does your physio say this type of injury can last?

Maybe you just haven't given it time to heal.

Its not a case of healing Helen, theres nothing to heal.

Well im sure hopey has said he's had his for FIVE YEARS, Notonyourhell about 2 years.

So, i dont know of anybody who has had ITB problems and it gone away for ever.


Softie, ive got a gun with two bullets in it....who's going first?

Its definately the pain after 5 days of not running thing going on with me.

Last night I raced the holcombe two towers race which has some semi-serious twisty/windey downhill sections. Knee was fine throughout and is fine today.

But before the race I had not run since friday, my knee was starting to ache. Its defo things tightening up with rest. which proves my thoery of perhaps its best to keep it moving do some running and get things working again.

it will solve the short effects of not running but not sure of how my knees will be at 60. Dont get me wrong I have only had a mild case of this ie Achey knees and shooting pains. Peeps have told me about there knees feeling like someone is sticking a screw driver into them.


Southernsoftie:
I'd say do what the physio says and perhaps get out there and get those surrounding muscles activated.
