I think if you feel/hear it go ping it's pretty bad. :(

Yes I had that with my calf pop and I couldn’t put my leg down flat or drive for six weeks. I got ankle mobility exercises from nhs physio and some massage from private physio post that. I’ve always linked that with the pf that then started in the other foot. Sometimes it is as simple as worn out trainers or overloading though

One of my motivations for yoga rather than bootcamp today was grumbly back. My winter spikes are ancient but I cannot replace them here and the roads are very hard when ice-covered. What a difference it made last week when I wore normal road shoes! But I think even when the weather improves I will stick to Sunday no-impact yoga and maybe a walk after LSR Saturday.

Couldn't summon up much enthusiasm for a run this morning. I'm bored with all my routes at the moment so looked at the weather and went out on my bike instead. Just a short 9 miles but it was enjoyable and that's what counts.

Hope all on the injury bench get well soon.

Sorry, I don't want to seem like a doom-monger but I just get a bit upset when I see people trying to return to running from injury too quickly and making things worse, also when they up their mileage too quickly.

Hugs for the injury bench. heart

10 miles done, felt hard work after running last night and then into the wind for the last few miles today.

Morning all. I'm having a few issues with my ankle at the moment, but pretty sure it's referred from elsewhere as the niggles disappear almost immediately after running. My back and shoulders are a bit stiff at the moment. But also, I got a warning from Fetch that my shoes are well old. Made me realise that my orthotics are as well - so have spent a load of money in the last few days, and booked into see the sports therapist next week (another load of money).

But this is my old hobby and I live a pretty frugal life in general - for the 21st century western world (much to the annoyance of dh and ds).

And that made me laugh TeeBee C9 is enormously frustrated that of all the places I draw the line it’s having rolling phone upgrades
