Compression clothing helps big time in the run and the recovery BUT I would not buy skins at there current price, they are far too expensive.
There are plenty of other brands available so have a good look round.

anybody got any advice on on groin/abductor injuries. i pulled mine 2/3 weeks ago and had a tendon on outside of knee pull at same time .ive rested it for a couple of weeks and tried doing easy 2milers on it but it just wont heal up . any one else had this trouble or got any advice, i'm getting seriously bored with it now ???

i have suffered from the simalar injury all summer, i tried to run on it during the summer but to no avail, i would get 2 weeks running under my belt then straight back to square one.

my advice would be wait until it heals, could be a while, see a physio(expensive)! use heat to try and speed the healing up.


walk for a few weeks before trying to run on it again. and don't run up/down hills for a few weeks after.

hope your running again soon.

thanks stagger and penguin. been to physio and pulled the IT band and the inner abductor. like penguin said i've started walking to get out and keep some level of fitness, and going to rest it for a couple more weeks and try a small run and see how it goes . a bit concerned as i've been training for the yoredale 100 and this has thrown a spanner in the works a bit. but these things are sent to test us and its better to be injured this time of yr then in summer.

did 45 mins on the roads on wednesday and after about 4 miles my shins started playing up again,pins and needles in my feet to the point where i had to stop and take my shoes off and rub my feet ,not runnning on tarmac again,i knew i shouldn't have done it but for some reason i thought i wouldn't get injured,cant do mileage

[Chugger]

How are the feet, Fleeter??

I have a new symptom.........I know, you can't wait to hear about it!!
I've had this hamstring thing since OCTOBER, but today I have a nice little, firm, lump at the back of my knee........any ideas?

Bursa? Tendon thing? Here to stay, or healed by tomorrow?
Who knows?

Knee felt great before running tonight, it was fine until started to run downhill. Got sharp shooting pains right through the knee cap.

Not happy about this, I'll try it again on a slow run in the lakes on Saturday (it could be the roads). If its no better, I'll turn my run into a walk then I'll rest and get some physio.

At the moment its just a niggle, hell it cant be that bad. I managed a half marathon on it on Sunday.

I just dont want this to get any worse.
