    You know the way some of the clubs have distances marked on the ground in the park - 200m, 400m, 800m...? Has anyone marked out the car park yet?

    You look after yourself missus! If you would like some good advice on how to do so, I suggest you check out your own posts on my log from last week... I did (for a change!) and it well worth it. :)

    Like I said before, we're all great at giving advice (myself included)....
    Look after yourself. You're running really well so don't jeopardise that.

    Couldnt sit about any longer so attempted two miles on the grass. Pain came back after 0.6 miles. Absolutely gutted. I've tried everything. Feels like all the training over the last few months is completely wasted :(:(

    Have you paid a visit to a PT? Sounds like what happened me week after Dublin 1/2 last year.

    I have P. She worked on glutes, ITB etc working on any trigger points. Still have that awful stinging in the side of knee when I run over half a mile. How long were you coming back from yours?

    It took a few sessions alright and a couple of times during that it felt fine but when I took off it was killing me like you said.

    Better to get it cleared up now and take it handy for a few weeks when you come back. To me it was just a combination of tight muscles that had built up over time.

    Yeah I know what you are saying. Its a week and a half now since I've run and I'm so frustrated. Coz you think its ok when you are walking about but running is a whole different thing. At least its early in the year its happening and not close to DCM like what happened to you.

    Sunday 12th February
    8.2 miles
    9:50 min/mile

    Well after two weeks of no decent runs this was the big test of the knee. Met Nules at 10 in the park. About a mile in the knee started stinging and 3.5 miles the pain was pretty severe. Only for the aul chat I would have packed it in there and then. Kept going and the pain eased and was manageable. Said goodbye to Nules about mile 7 as she went on for a million more miles :). I've run out of ideas about what to do next so I guess I'll just keep running till it goes eventually. Really glad to get out nonetheless, two wks felt like an eternity!

    you did great but just mind the knee. You did look in pain at a few points. Hope the cold bath did the trick :)

    Good to see you back but take it easy tho. Have you tried running with a support on for a few easy sessions?
    Sorry I missed the session but I needed the long sleep this morn, slept till 1 and only got up for a nice home cooked dinner!!

    Ah crap, though the running break would have done the trick. Sorry to hear that you are still having pain. That really sucks.

    I know its annoting as hell but get the knee checked out as the longer you run on it without checking it out, the more damage you may cause.

    Shaz, yeah forgot my knee support thingy today. Prob would have helped!
    Chinguetti, I did and it's that bl''dy ITB syndrome. I'm following all the rules and thought 2 wks of rest wud do the trick but alas not :(

    Well with all my reading on ITB I read that if you go quicker it doesnt hurt as much. I have disproved this theory! I even tried an old pair of runners to see if they'd make a difference and then I bought glucosamine sulphate on my way home. I think I'm officially desperate at this stage. No jokes!

    Crap...I've run out of options! Have tried the glucosamine which def helps my knee when it acts up. This prob doesn't help you tho as ITB wasn't the cause! Rainbow might have some ideas as she had ITB probs for a few months.

    Thats a curse Ro. Do you have a foam roller to try and batter the ITB?

    It takes time and is awful annoying but keep doing whatever you can to stretch it out.

    I tell ya, the last three weeks have been a whole re education on stretching. Must order a proper foam roller now that you mention it. I have the stick but I'm not mad gone on it. Thanks Chinguetti

    Keep at it Ro. Don't worry too much about distance at the moment or pace. It takes a while to get rid of. I have the stick as well bit didn't find it great for the ITB. If your getting a foam roller have a search for The Grid. It's a piece of pipe with a small covering over it. It will hurt the bejaysus out of you but it is much more effective.
