    I was a bit hasty about being happy there the other day. Went out for a test run this evening, had to stop after about a mile and a half because it was getting bloody painful. Brb getting really ****ing emo. Have done everything absolutely perfectly since I got the injury - lots of stretching and strengthening work, I even dropped a huge wad of cash on new runners, I've foam rolled to within an inch of my ITB's life...

    *le sigh*

    I'm sorry to hear that bud.

    Funny cos it's true :pac:

    Going to see if I can haul my ass out of the bed at stupid o'clock tomorrow for a swim before work, after noticing that a pool near work has a 7.45am lane swim (therefore giving me plenty of time to get to work by 9). This plan may fail though because I like my bed :pac:

    How about this for a suggestion and i'm no expert;

    Do nothing at all for a week. Maybe you're overdoing the rehab and not giving your body a chance to recover. I've always found that nature is the best healer, it certainly won't do you any harm.

    This will inspire you and give you hope, best article ever written on sports injuries, although i'm biased!

    I know it's headwrecking RK, but better off another week or so now, rather than pushing on and doing more damage to yourself. You want to be 100% going into DCM 2011 training. No harm in a bit more rest and recovery. Hopefully, you'll be ok for some swimming, and that will keep you ticking over.

    You know, if this doesn't heal up quickly I may be better off not doing DCM '11 at all. Might be better to really spend a long time focusing on recovery and the shorter stuff (and maybe cut my XC teeth in the autumn!), before getting into a training cycle for a 2012 spring marathon.

    When I started running back in 2007, I got an ITB ijnury cos I ran the first 14M of the Cork marathon then joined my relay partner to run the last mile while the legs were still tired. That was in June and I had plenty of time to get it sorted and do my first marathon in DCM07. I didnt even have Physio or anything, so I'm sure you'll recover even quicker.

    Dont write anything off yet!!!

    yeah, sure its only April an 18 week DCM plan wouldn't start until the end of June, so you've ten full weeks for recovery

    Lot of recovery to be done though when I can only run for 10 minutes at the moment...

    Would running on a treadmill help? When my IT Band came at me it was the constant tensioning (if that's a word) of impact plus the overuse issues, a treadmill would lesson that greatly. Just a thought.:)

    I honestly don't know, my gait gets very awkward (even more so than normal) on a treadmill so I'd be a little concerned about it. Might try it though, just on the off-chance that it does help...

    Even slowly, at least you'd be moving and the gait issues wouldn't have as much effect with the lessened impact.

    I'm not worried about cost, it's value for money I'm interested in :pac:

    Stretch, strengthen, ice, foam roller, lather, rinse, repeat. Going to try a 5-10 minute run in the morning and see how that goes. Also got another physio appointment tomorrow. :eek:

    You should. Park the marathons for a while and give the shorter stuff a go. It'll make you faster, give you quicker leg turn over, you'll get stronger and will only benefit your longer stuff. It'll also open up a new world for you.

    Might be a good idea to look at the shorter stuff RK but just to let you know it was Feb of 2009 when I first got my ITB injury and thats the year I ran my only marathon. You will recover from this!
