    I had it for a couple of years, kept racing and training and paid the price. I'd definitely recommend you seek the advice of a medical professional on this.

    I struggle with this, it flares up badly on occasion but working with a physio you should be able to find the root cause of your particular case and work on strengthening and stretching work to minimise problems. I know a number of people with similar problems who run, probably same percentage of runners have the issue as people who don't run.

    Along with this I have to build up mileage reallly gradually over time and personally don't believe I'll go beyond half marathon distance in the future.
