Could cry

Was on my warm up run before hill sprints and sprints, went over on my ankle. Really thought it was going to go crack. Really not in good form now.

Sorry about your ankle injury JL, I just hope it's not too serious and you can get back to running soon, but until it is healed don't run.

Gosh...do all that is needed and rest up x

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Oh Johnny!!! How are you now??

[Johnnylewis Half Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Sore. Friend hopefully looking it tomorrow.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Johnnylewis]

Hope they can help xx

[Katnap Marathon]

Ouch! Are you able to cycle to keep your fitness?

[Johnnylewis Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Hopefully. Road bike is on the turbo trainer. I'll rest it tomorrow and try it on Saturday.

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Johnny I’m sorry to hear that mate. I just landed on the IC too with some IT band issues. Hope you are good for Saturday! 🤞

Oh no Decker 😫 sorry to read that ☹️

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks IP. Was bound to happen at some point. Just walking and cycling for this week and maybe next while it heals

[Johnnylewis Half Marathon in reply to Decker]

I'm sorry I didn't even read that properly. It is sore from I remember. How long you reackon you'll be out for. Does walking help

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Johnnylewis]

I’m guessing I could be back at it some lower mileage runs by next weekend. Till then I’ve been walking and running and trying to follow my physio’s advice around exercise snd specific stretching. Both walking and riding seem to help. Had a 15k ride this morn that I quite enjoyed.

Oh Crap!! Mend well.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Oh no!!! Does it feel any easier today? Speedy healing, take care.

[Johnnylewis Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

It does. But still let's me know that I've hurt it.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Johnnylewis]

Hopefully a little less tomorrow if you're careful 🤞

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

I feel for you as I’ve done the same in the past. One thing that really helped me apart from the usual- was to keep stretching the calves. An ankle injury tightens up calves so make sure you work on them regularly.

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 it's not serious, look after yourself!

[Johnnylewis Half Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thankyou. Someone is telling me that I shouldn't be doing more than the 20k 😂

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon in reply to Johnnylewis]

🤣👍🏻 maybe your body wants a rest!

Joking aside, sometimes it is a warning that we're maybe tired or not as focused as we might otherwise be. My two recent falls have made me a lot more conscious of form/footing etc. We can get complacent, not paying enough attention to the ground ahead etc so it can be a wake up call.

[misswobble Marathon]

Oh darn it! 🤬

These things happen unfortunately. I hope it’s not serious and responds quickly to the usual treatment

Fingers crossed that you’re soon back out there. 🤞

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Ouch - sounds painful! Hope you heal soon🤞 - take care.👍🙂
