Had an injury whilst walking about four weeks ago. Self-diagnosed IT band syndrome. I could barely weight-bear with the pain of my knee. So no running for 2-3 weeks and really nervous going back out. So the last two weeks taking it easy, have built up to 7k and knee ok. But all the runs have been yuk. Waiting to have one of those nice ones again!
I’ve missed a lot of people’s progress as I have not been on be forum so will get reading some now. Hope everyone well.
Glad you’re back Leosmit, albeit not how you’d like it. This weather is hit and miss isn’t it? But you’ll soon have one of those lovely runs again, it can’t be far off. 🤞
Thank you! It actually happened today - had an enjoyable run. Loved your vitality photo. Great!
I had that and got to the point I could barely walk down a little slope. I switched to Hoka shoes and the low drop fixed me overnight. It was bizarre.

That’s exactly what I think happened - I walked down a very steep path after a run and then bam - the pain! But I have good shoes - I got gait analysis and have a pair of minzunos. Spelling not correct! But I’ll read that article again that you have linked to. I tried Hokas in the shop and the sizing wasn’t right for me.
That sounds very painful, good to see you are healing and running again
Thank you both! Loved your recent photo and the story of your rainy run!!
Thank you
Hey! 👋👋👋 Wotcha 😁
Tomorrow is your runniversary!!
Well done though on getting back out and building up again. It may take time to get to one of those runs again but it's out there waiting for you.
You are up to some great mileage already so feel good that you've got back because this is really good going 👏 👏👏👏👏
Here's to more steady building up and memorable moments to come 🙂
GTFC, every post you post cheers my heart! You are so encouraging. Didn’t realise that - a year ago tomorrow! My first ever social media type thing as I generally hate social media stuff.
Did an 8.5k today. Was a nice run - cool and windy. Has so cheered me up. The same run this day last week was awful!
Yes! That means tomorrow you can do a 'Runniversary' post which will be epic 😁
Gosh, what a year eh? You've only gone and cracked it you know. From having the bravery to give it another shot to being where you are now is just inspiring to so many people on here.
8.5k in the bag too. What a time to be alive 🙂🙂🙂
Nice to see you back running Leosmit. I'm sure those yuk runs will go away just like your injury. Good luck 😊😊
Thank you so much Buddy. Nice 8.5 k today and was listening to a very entertaining podcast (Bob Hope from emmerdale on RunPod). Has cheered me up no end having one of those enjoyable runs! Hope all well with you.
Hang on in there! You're possibly (understandably) still nervous of the knee and not quite relaxing into your runs yet. Your happy run will find you, don't give up on it just yet 😊
Aw, Linda, thank you so much! And funny enough, a nice run today. Finally! Feel so happy about it. PS what is an ultra marathon?
Yay, that's good news!!!
An ultra? I think technically it's anything over 50k aka madness 😲😅
As I say ANYTHING over 50k - fancy this one? runningmagazine.ca/sections...
A steady little 5k in the cold 
My little faithful IPod is no more 🥲
