I figured out what my problem is...I need to move to a warm climate
. Loving running and biking in this weather. Mojo found so now I just have to follow the sunshine around...this marathon training could be costly :rolleyes:
Downside Achilles tightness has brought back my shinsplints problem...off to get em battered this eve!
Ah don't leave us Shaz. Sniff sniff. Enjoy the torture this evening.0 -

Now on official orders...no running for me for 6+ weeks with a suspected stress fracture on shin (tbc with MRI as soon as I can get appointment). Second time with a marathon; do you think the running gods are trying to tell me something (prob stop eating choc :rolleyes:).
Bye bye Cork half and Berlin
...long drinking session in Cork here I come tho (always a bright side!) 0 -

Ah no way Shaz, that's awful Speaking from experience, my tibial stress fracture kept me from running for just over 2 months - middle of August to end of October 2010 . And then I came back very slowly. I did a lot of crosstraining during that time - swimming, bike, crosstrainer in gym. It helped me to basically not go mad! I also did a bit of Pilates to help strengthen the core. I was able to do Barcelona in Mar 2011. It took a while, slowly slowly was the best way back. Hopefully the MRI will confirm it's not a stress fracture, but if it does, try not to panic too much - you will get back, honest. (And you're younger than me as well so your bones will heal quicker than mine did

Ahhh, sorry to hear that :mad:. I feel partly responsible for telling you to run slower
See you down in cork for drinks anyway.0 -
Thanks for the support messages guys. Crap happens and it could be worse. Already have my eye on 2 cycling sportifs to keep me busy :-)Ah no way Shaz, that's awful Speaking from experience, my tibial stress fracture kept me from running for just over 2 months - middle of August to end of October 2010 .

I'm 7 weeks down the line now (metatarsal stress fractures) and hoping to do my first walk next week. If you keep up the cross training you won't lose much fitness - I'd say I'll keel over on my first walk!
These posts scared me. I've 6 weeks max in my mind to be out. Guess I'll become the cross training queen for the next while. It will start after my hols in Italy...no need to bring the runners now so more room in the bag
M, I didn't realise you were out so long already. Hopefully all goes to plan next week.
Rachel, ta for the advice.0 -
Don't be daft Meno, no-one to blame here. Lesson learnt for me not to plod and stick to a pace which feels natural.Ahhh, sorry to hear that :mad:. I feel partly responsible for telling you to run slower

Sympathy drinks are very welcome though 0 -

I'm heading to Italy myself at the weekend for 10 days of drinking wine and eating... everythingThese posts scared me. I've 6 weeks max in my mind to be out. Guess I'll become the cross training queen for the next while. It will start after my hols in Italy...no need to bring the runners now so more room in the bag I will have to get off my lazy behind once I get back from holidays, and try to get myself back in action.
Yes it was 7 weeks ago today - ouch! I was limping around on it for a few weeks while I waited for the MRI referral... and then the scan... and then the results. Then I spent a few weeks on crutches which are happily gone today. My foot still doesn't feel right, and I am terrified of ever trying to run again. The fractures are right at the metatarsal head joints though so it was difficult to rest it properly - which probably delayed healing. Hopefully yours should heal up a treatM, I didn't realise you were out so long already. Hopefully all goes to plan next week.0 -

Nice, what part are you heading to? Oh plenty of Italian food, wine and ice-cream coming my way. Will need to do something when I come back to work it all off :rolleyes:Yes it was 7 weeks ago today - ouch!

Jeez you have been in the horrors then. You obviously haven't been able to do any cross-training then. I hear about returning to running but I ain't giving up on it just maybe marathons!0 -
Oh no- sorry to hear this.
If you are biking and running already why not try swimming now? You could come back off your injury a triathlete!
The thought has crossed my mind thanks to another boardsie...you know who you are
. Problem is that my swimming is absolutely cat - is there such a thing as a couch to 1km for swimmers 0 -

Thur May 31st
Cycle
Bearing in mind the plan above I took to the roads on the bike this eve. I haven't a bogs about tri and had to check what a sprint tri distance is today (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run).
So I decided on a bike trial this eve for the tri bike distance. After a 5km warm-up I ramped up for the 20km. I was hoping to get 20km done in under 40 mins but came in at 41:15 :mad:. Annoyed with that but I suppose since it was on the mountain bike, I could shave some time off on the road bike. 5km spin home to cool down.
More importantly I wanted to test shin out - slightly achey but I can still continue on the bike if worse comes to worse so thats good. Time to dust off the road bike for the summer I think!
Cycle Distance: 30km0 -
