Aye, still working on mine to keep it at bay, but that was how long it was without running at all.Originally Posted by Al Fowler
I dont think you can say ITB ever goes away?
Ive had my ITB problem exactly a year on sunday...and just to celebrate the occasion they've started playing up again.

Cant remember how long i went without running.
4 months maybe?
Still hardly run more than a couple of times a months because of the sodding ITB.
Had over a year off with achilies problems. Tendonosis was the diagnosis. been trying this barefoot running thing and now up to 4 miles. Its slow (but i've never been quick so no worries there) and the only problems so far are a few blisters. My achilies problem seems to have gone away. All on roads up to now but going out on the fells this weekend (with shoes on - dont fancy off road with no shoes).

Best of luck with the weekend's run. & welcome to the forum.

barefoot running ay? sounds painful to be honest!
i take it you do that on a track and not just around the streets? if i did around my streets I'd definitely be in hospital with beer bottles and all kinds stuck in me!
anyway good luck with that!
pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.
Not at all kw, search the forum threads for barefoot running. Plenty of details and links to specialist sites. Opens up a whole new world...

Ta, will be taking it very easy - a fair bit of walking probably (up hill anyway)Best of luck with the weekend's run. & welcome to the forum.
All on roads so far. Started with 1/4 mile then built it up from there. I think its really helped my achilies problem so has been worth a go (and a few blisters). Nowt's stuck in my foot so far.....

nice bike ! ive barely run for 3 years suffering from pf , cycling has saved me ! 100 miles a week always at a fast pace , no weight gained and a lot of improvement on average speeds ect . learn to love it i have , and be amazed at how far you can go . but beware its a ottomless pit for money !!!Hi Moley
Ended up with a foot dislocation in early May.... managed to do limited runs over the summer. I had an operation in August which involved re-alligning and pinning bones and a joint replacement.
As a result of having the joint replacement I've been told that I can't run again.... ever. I know there's worse things that can happen... but am still reeling a bit from this news.
My "injury time" from running looks like its going to be very long. Like you, I haven't been able to walk or bike and am getting rid of my crutches this week. I was aware of the potential running prognosis when I saw the consultant in the summer and although a bit of a reluctant cyclist I hope I will learn to love it as much as running. I did get a very nice bike in anticipation......... http://www.speeds-cycles.co.uk/road-...e-compact.html

12 months and counting!
Sorry to hear your news, huf-and-puf- I understand the reeling bit- recent scans show neither of my knees are much good, and tho' I'm much much better after my surgery in March, I still can't run without pain, and more damage.May end up having more ops to sort knees, but the running's looking doubtful.Haven't given up yet on it tho'.
Good news about biking!- and nice road bike- I'm just upgrading mine from a base road model to a carbon custom build Italian job, after a summer alpine cycle trip and a couple of sportives, I'm hooked - and you can keep the fitness up - I've actually lost weight since injured.
All the best, anyway!
