Oh no.... my post seems to have dragged lots of people out of the wood work, I was hoping you were all busy out running.
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for us all:)tHE vAGGABOND wrote: »Have tiny pain on inside of inner thigh, aka a really small [grade 1] groin strain/pull..
Poxy timing, I totally know it should be fine, and gone in a few days [or so], but this was to be my biggest KM week for Berlin, and it really is the worst time to get any kind of injury...
Bought good strapping for it, wearing now, and a huge box of ibuprofen - and will rediscover religion and say a few prayers
If it works for Katie Taylor..... I'd say give the prayers a shot. Have you an old maiden Aunt?;) they can usually get speedy novenas done.
Although my aunt didn't do the trick for me this time:(
Now here's the advice I should have heeded myself..... Take it very, very easy, err on the side of caution, we're so close to Berlin, you don't want to find yourself on the sideline like me0 -

Hi all I'm back too
(formerly known as Bally8)
My achilles has been niggling recently so I eased back on the running for a while. I do a lot of cycling and some swimming so at least I've been able to keep active. After a couple weeks break I went back running and felt ok and managed to get back on track with my training for the Charleville Half Marathon. Heel drops, calf stretches, heel raises at every opportunity. Did the Castleconnell triathlon last weekend. Really pushed it in the run, quelle suprise- planter fasica injury back with a bang!! I've taken 4 days off completely and 3 slow miles today. Last year my planter fascia injury was treated while I continued to do very short slow runs as rest doesnt work in repairing it. Very annoyed its back as I really thought it was fully recovered.0 -

I'm delighted to have discovered this thread as I need somewhere to vent my anger, frustration, disappointment and depression!!
A few months back when training for my first marathon I was a big follower of the DCM Novices Thread, often I wondered what people were on about when they referred to their IT Band. I even asked a nurse I knew and she hadn’t a clue what I was on about it. Unfortunately since Oct 29th 2012 I have now become an expert on the demon ITBS :mad::mad:
DCM was a marvellous day for me, I loved every minute of it and post marathon I couldn't wait to plan for another. So registered for Paris on April 7th, flights paid and all.
At the start I chose to ignore the pain coming from the outside of my knee, thinking surely it’s just a post marathon niggle. But it came to stage where on planned runs I ended up doing more walking than running. As I sat in my physios in early November I thought she was bonkers when she said I could forget about Paris, surely she’s making a mistake its months away. I opted to think she was just being overly cautious and that I'd def be running down the Champs Elysees on April 7th. So since November I’ve been rigorously following my physio’s advice, stretching/strengthening and foam rolling the area twice a day. Took complete rest from running at the start. Gradually got back on the road, and I mean gradually, someday I wouldn’t make a full mile without pain. By Xmas I knew Paris was off:( I Attended a Chi Running in the new yr, still going to physio and keeping up my rehab program, eventually it happened..2 miles...3miles...4 miles and then music to my ears two weeks ago I was allowed 5 miles and if this went well the following week I was allowed a 6 miler. I was on cloud 9, straight onto Run Ireland what race could I pinpoint as a comeback race?? I'd already lost my Paris dream but surely even a local race in April/May I could aim for. Did my 5 miles pain free, then 6 miles. This was it I was cured! I still kept up my regime. Then this week again DISASTER.... The demon reappeared Thurs after 5miles, making me walk home a mile. I put this all down to the terrain Id ran on and that it’s a hilly route. So anxiously yesterday I opted to test it again. This time on a flatter better road route. Then it came again this time after 3.5 miles. I stopped and stretched and again had to walk back to car, feeling totally distraught. Asking why oh why has this happened to me again? Surely it’s not fair when I’m being such a good patient??? So with tears in eyes I drove home and spent the rest of the day feeling oh so sorry for myself, on a total downer
So just wondering has anyone else ever gone through a similar experience like this where you thought it was gone and then bang back it comes? Also I’ve been trying to do some cycling to keep up my fitness and have read some conflicting reports whether it can aggravate the ITB or not. I use a combination of my own road bike, and the spinning and turbo bike at gym(turbo is way too big for me). So could one of these maybe making the problem worse?
All advice much appreciated and sorry for writing an essay but it’s good to get it off my chest, other people just don’t understand!
Thanks again0 -

I feel your pain - yes ITBS can re occure but don't despair, you _are_ on the road to a full recovery - you can get 6 miles now where you could not get a mile in a few months ago. But clearly something has gone wrong ad it is time to go back to basics. I'd knock off the cycling at least for a while and re introduce it very gradually. But the key is not to loose heart now - and yes I know what it like to miss the destination race - it sucks. But there are always other races ..0 -
I too suffered from ITBS and I feel your pain - its the most frustrating injury I've ever had (and I've had quite a few :mad:). Only difference is mine was on the top of the band where it attaches to the hip. I first got injured at mile 10 of a half marathon and ran on through sheer agony. Didn't attend a physio straight away as I could still play 5-a-side. Rested it for 8 weeks running wise but 2 mile into my first run back it was worse than ever - had another few disasters until I eventually attended a Physio.
I found that the heat treatments from the physio really gave me relief along with foam rolling. Physio was putting it down to running on hard shoulder of the road so was constantly on a slope and sharp increase in mileage.
Once I followed a 8 week exercise programme with Physio was able to come back and it has never come back against me since. Stopped running on the hard shoulder as well. While following the physio's programme was able to use an exercise bike no problem - could also play 5 a side no problem.
Long story short - you will come back from it, its frustrating but don't rush it and you can do other stuff in meantime to keep up fitness.0 -

Thanks for all the replies, it's much appreciated. Plus it's great to hear from others who have had the same injury. Going to go back to the drawing board, ease off the road and turbo cycling. Just do maybe a spinning session once a week. Will chance maybe 3 miles later on in week, preferably on the track if I can so at least I won't have the dreaded walk back home if goes bad. I agree about running on one side of road too, I'm down narrow country roads with bad surface. Usually always on right hand side so that doesn't help. When go on track ill alternate directions. Thanks again guys 0

Chatting on whattsapp, I have discovered a fair few of the DCM 2018 novices are injured, one way or another.
It made me remember this thread and I thought I might give it a bump to see are there any other injured's who want to sound off?
My semi-ignored ankle weakness has come back to bite me, and I've gone, over the years, from sore heel, strained knee, overloaded ankle to crippling hip.
Who knew a little ol' ankle could cause so much inconvenience.
I'm doing tons of stretching and isolated training to improve flexibility and strengthen it. But man, I so hate split squats
Anyone else in the doldrums?0 -

I hope the stretching helps - god I’m not even going to google split squats!0 -
