Running injuries?

Sounds nasty... I just have an ache/pain when walking/running under my ankle on the side of my foot.
It doesn't hurt if I rest it so visiting the doctors seems a waste of everyones time.
I hope yours clears up with rest very soon, that is the danger you walk 'funny' to avoid it hurting and end up hurting something else!

I had one - Google it
But of acupuncture, rest and physio and I was right
You will need physio though
Here's a brief rundown of my running history, for what it's worth:
Started running in 1996, to lose weight and get fit, when I was 25 and weighed 20 stone. Within 2 years, I was down to 13 stone, and my fitness was improving day by day. Then in 1999, I decided to start racing motorbikes, so I ramped the training up even more, along with a stricter diet.
Most weeks went like this: three midweek runs of around 8 miles, at least one gym session of resistance training mostly to my legs, then at least twice a month, a long run of a Sunday - minimum 15 miles, and just for fun if the weather was nice, Marathon distance.
I had started to absolutely love running for the sport of it, despite it keeping me fit for racing - I did some 10k road races, turning in decent 40 minute finishes. Began to train for the London Marathon in 2007 - but suffered a recurring knee issue. Had to have a knee arthroscopy - seemed to sort it out, but missed the event.
Continued, and got a place on the 2011 Marathon again. However, in the middle of training, the same knee problem came back. Had to have another arthroscopy - and this time, when I went back to see the Consultant following the op, he told me that my running days were over. The articular cartilage on my right distal femoral condyle is SO badly worn away from running, that if I carried on, I would be back to see him for a total knee replacement within 5 years (making me 43 years old...)
To be fair, I've not suffered any other running injuries over those years, apart from having to get used to basically continuously aching leg muscles. Probably my fault for training a bit too hard at times - but there were nights when I sometimes went to bed after a long run, and the muscle pain was so bad it kept me awake until I swallowed a handful of Paracetamol!
So yeah - to answer your question, I am sure that running has provided me with an element of health insurance for my body and cardiovascular system generally - but it is also responsible for giving me the knee of a pensioner before my 40th Birthday. Take from that what you will!!!

Well Ray that was insightful and with the whole history it makes sense.Started running in 1996, to lose weight and get fit, when I was 25 and weighed 20 stone. Within 2 years, I was down to 13 stone, and my fitness was improving day by day. Then in 1999, I decided to start racing motorbikes, so I ramped the training up even more, along with a stricter diet.

I have only really ever ran a mile or two on a treadmill from a teenager until now in my 30s, I have recently tried to take it outside and run a bit further, so I have been doing approx 5 miles, and honestly I dont think I will do much more than that anyway, if I continue to be able to run without injuring something I might take it to 10k at the most. But I am not looking to be competative, just it feels good to run (for me, I feel great in a mood after a run) and its cheaper than all the bike stuff that can get pricy.
I blame the wife, she started and I had to do it too!
