I'm 54 now and finally became smarter in my training. I'm getting much less injured. What did I do? Never go to the limit during training. The schedule is just a guideline, listen to your body. And keep saying to yourself: I want to train tomorrow! (just to keep yourself from going too hard). Works perfectly.
Good plan, and I totally agree, but it can be hard to hold back on those days when you are just flying.
Here's to 54, bought a road bike since I had some knee bursitis. Mechanic kneeling on old knees. Road bike keeps the conditioning tip top.
I really hope that you make a part 2 to this video covering the build-up back to pre-injury shape. I think alot of people cover this initial "take it slow" phase right after injury, but i have found it really difficult to find good resources that covers the exact phase you are heading into. In my opinion it is probably the most critical phase to get right to avoid this hopeless cycle of getting injured ever 3-6 months so I think alot of runners would find it super useful to learn more about. Your tips and tricks have been fundamental to the way i run today and it has helped me run injury free for the longest period of my life so far, so thank you so much! Hope recovery goes well!
Hope it's not too irrelevant or something, but as a believer every day I thank God for my running, I thank for lack of injuries currently, for the ones that got healed, for different 'warnings', clean air, willpower etc. Stay grateful guys, all the best and take care🤞🤝🏃💚
Listening while trying to recover plantar fasciitis, the hardest part not to run. Thanks for sharing, love your videos.
Also had it. Did every foot exercise in the book. Turns out my right foot has either a permanently faulty arch or I did the damage so to speak. Only thing which solved it was insoles to properly support the arch.
I had been experiencing this issue for the past 2 months, and now I'm dedicating more time to strength training to make my legs stronger for better running when I recover.
That ice slide at 6:17 was super impressive!
😀
The other advantage of adding other disciplines into the running training is that it takes the strain out of your running muscles etc, it gives them a break whilst still allowing cardio development and hopefully reduces risk of injury.
i got my first real injury running a few ago and have while recovering watching videos about how not to get injured. these really help, not just with the information but they also make me feel less alone in this. thank you.
I had Morton’s neuroma and luckily this quick fix worked: the cause is a narrow toe box pushing the toes together and pinching a nerve. So I used a foam ear plug as a spacer between my pinky toe and the one next to it to spread it out. Problem disappeared. If this didn’t work there are toe spreaders on the market that spread all toes to try. Also shoes with a wide toe box are your only choice. Good luck thanks for sharing your videos!
Transfering to shoes with wider toe box has also helped me, together with foot exercises from the barefoot community!
Hope you can get back to running soon, Göran!
same issue here, but toe spacers felt uncomfortable and unpractical - had to put them on every day. I've bought several pairs of wide toebox shoes (e.g. Altra Lone Peak), and pain slowly went away (~6 months). Putting on narrow shoes is immediately painful. After discussing this with a doctor I understood that its my life now - no more narrow toebox shoes, including any functional wear- skates, bike shoes, etc. There is an option to do a surgery - cut ligaments between toes, remove/freeze the nerve.. But somehow changing the shoes collections seems more attractive.
Thanks for this video. I hurt my meniscus and find chondral loss in my knee. So all running competitions have to be called off. Just keep telling myself be patience and calm.
Best running content on youtube.
Thanks 😊
I recently got a similar injury and took an extra rest day. After another training I still noticed the pain/irritation, so now I've decided not to run at all for a week and trying to stay off my feet as much as possible. It's very frustrating, but I do feel like it's helping. I do still bike to work for an hour, so that helps a little by burning some energy. Fingers crossed for (all of) us!
You’ve become an important voice to me - thank you
I had a neuroma removed (second space left foot) several years back after cortisone injections didn't seem to help. The operation was a success, but i found that a few other things also helped. I wear toe socks whether I'm running or or not. I use zero drop shoes for everyday use, and run in a 4-6 mm drop shoe with at least 26mm of forefoot cushion. I'm 60 y/o and certainly I listen to my body much more than I did when I developed that neuroma. Good luck with your recovery.
Very helpful comment. Did you have RF ablation surgery? A friend of mine has the condition and I will pass on your other recommendations. Thanks
I had the surgery 9 years ago, so, it was a neurectomy of the nerve in the second space. I had a 4 week recovery, but I was able to bike soon after, by moving my clips further back on the midfoot. Since that time, I have had metatarsalgia and plantar fasciitis at various times, but the lower drop shoes, the toe socks, multiple sports, and proper rest(self massage) have really been my tools for longevity in running. Knock on wood! Good luck for your friend. @@Blades-fm6ck
Thanks for this. I ran a marathon two weeks ago and crushed my goal, it went perfectly. But, afterwards my posterior tibial tendon was a little tender. not surprising after such a hard effort. I waited a few days and went on a short run, it was still tender. I waited a few more days but I really didnt want to fall behind on my weekly milage goal so I ran 20k. After that I knew it was too much. So I waited another week but then gain with the weekly milage goal in mind I ran 30km in two days. now Im limping everywhere and laid up on the couch!
I think I'll have to take at least two weeks off. it sucks,
Love your channel and your brave honesty. I'm a 69 'old girl' and bave heen running 40 years and had lots of injuries. 😢 so I really do feel for you. My trouble was that my determination and grit was more than my fitness. And injuries are often things that have been building over many years. They are rarely 'sudden from nowhere'. I ran better after each of my two knee ops because of all the rehab i did😅 now I do prehab...loads of weight training, mobility, stretching, and lots of plan Bs such as my rower and stationary bike. I even trail run on my rebounder in front of video trail runs around the world on my big screen tv. Started in lockdown. I think I have invented a new sport😂 Always remember " the sign of a champion is how you come back from injury" . Quote from a returning competitor of The Worlds Strongest Man. That is my mantra for injuries. Or as Arnie (almost) said YOU'LL BE BACK❤
I am probably a lil bit older than the average listener here but I totally agree to being a more "diverse athlete".
I've been injured a couple of times in the last 25 years but the latest happened during garden work before the summer.
Due to the severity I bought a rowing machine, used the indoor bike more often, even hit the gym more regularly....
I love running but it's been an on and off even after recovery from my injury.
All I wanna say is that we can all set some goals but it's most important to have fun and stay healthy on the way.
It's a risk if you get mentally dependent on running. This is probably not healthy...
Goran, I wish you well. 5 weeks is a long time without the drug. I did smile today because I ran 6 reps on an extremely boring strava segment on a main road just to try and get to 100 as Local Legend. These are our (sometimes ridiculous) obsessions. Good Luck, Win
😢 thank you for sharing what you’re experiencing. I hope you heal up soon!
Thank you!
I had similar symptoms like Mortons Neuroma but really it was Piriformis syndrome. Took months to figure out and around 2 years to get rid of it. Wish you all the best!
Your content is amazing, many thanks.
Love your positive attitude!
Thank's for sharing...recover well...keep on keeping on...
A very wise, reflective, insightful and honest video. Injuries just suck, don't they?!
I am just about recovered from a hip injury that has prevented me from running for about 10 weeks. I cannot say that I deliberately caused the injury, but I certainly made things worse by trying to ignore the injury and hope that I could 'run through' the injury. That is however very rarely the case, and I off course know that too, but when running becomes a very integral part of your day, and your life, you hope against odds that you can get away with it. Being 58 years old doesn't help much as you tend to pick up injuries much easier, and recovery takes an awful lot longer, so I will try to learn from mistakes this time, push less, run easier runs, and hopefully avoid injuries in the first place so I can continue running 6 days a week.
Sorry to hear about your injury but glad to hear that you are almost recovered, good luck with your running!
Speedy recovery! Sending positive energy from South Florida
Thanks for the video, I relate very much.
Get well soon Göran!
Thanks! 😅
Get well super soon good man!!
Thanks for this Goran - I appreciate your honesty with us as viewers. It helps me feel a whole lot less upset about not being the superhuman I wish I was. I'm still a beginner and appreciate the inspiration. I'll be going on my first 5 mile run this week!
Hang in there! So many of your videos are inspiring to me, and I am sure others as well. Wishing you the best possible recovery.
Perfect timing for this Göran! I just got what I hope will be a minor injury after one year of having zero problems.
As always, your videos are very encouraging and I hope you get well soon! Thank you for being so open about this topic 🙂 For me it is the fact of knowing that I might need days (🙏🏻) to return to my normal schedule what bothers me the most.
I've got Mortons neuroma too, and realize it may never go away. However it does feel much less painful, so that I can still run.
As a 66 year old runner, I try to listen to my body and only check my watch after my runs. I don't have a training schedule, and play each day by ear. my day starts with a walk in the park with a couple of friends. I also have classes three times a week at the gym. My goal now is not to be the fastest runner, but one of the healthiest. Being fast is now just a perk of being healthy.
I love these videos, so emotional ❤.
I did the same this year, my hamstrings, to much hill running, I got obsessed with getting 3000ft total.climbed in each run and just put too much stress on my body.
4000m in each run??
@@magnusberger6762@magnusberger6762 3, 000 not 4 I will change that above but yes, id go out and just hammer hills. I know now its too much stress, and catches up with you.
I also didn't do nearly enough strenghth and flexibility work which cant have helped either. Same on the bike, just climb, climb, climb
@@magnusberger6762 Since I've been injured I've missed it terribly, I've not been the same, it changes you deep in. I'm just building to get back and have a strict physio programme.
What you said has really resonated with me, if you are able to run, that is such a privilege and we should always appreciate that. What I have also learned is that staying injury free is so important and that too requires discipline and commitment ♥️
Love your videos, passion and commitment. Stay strong, literally muscular skeletal, strength, core, flexibility ♥️
3000ft is understandable. 4000m as I believe it said first is crazy. :) Still hardcore for every run though. Keep up the good work and maybe consider some easier runs as a basis. :)
Unless you badly roll an ankle or some heavy impact disaster, your body almost always sends warning signs for at least a few kilometres, sometimes several runs, before an injury can establish itself.
But then the trick is getting a feel for which warning signs you need to pay attention to, and which you can ignore. It's not just as easy as feel discomfort -> stop running because those small pains occur frequently, and if each one caused you to take a small break from running you'd never develop any consistency.
2 basic tests to use are: does the discomfort cause you to significantly alter your running stride, is it lopsided at all? Are you able to hop up and down on the affected leg/foot without pain or noticeable weakness? If yeah you should definitely stop for a couple days
Thank you for this very inspirational video! I had to go through the same and it's when you can't run that you realize how much you miss it! Hope you will get better soon! Keep up the good work!
Yeah that is so true, thanks!
Thanks, Göran, and best of luck with your recovery!
What you described resonates very well with me: I’m also “addicted” to my daily run, no matter if it’s just a quick one around the block (I’m also a father to a young kid and living in the Nordics, so quite some similarities). Running makes me feel better and has really grown on me (I used to cycle way more). Yet, overdoing it is a risk that lingers around the corner, and it’s good to hear it repeated!
Riktigt bra tankar! Vet exakt hur det känns och hur mycket det har för ens mentala mående! Och som du säger i slutet, det man saknar mest när man inte kan springa är just att kunna bara gå ut och träna lätt
Mycket värdefullt budskap. Tack för alla dina välproducerade filmer. Krya på foten!
Same thing happened to me last june. A partial hamstring tear. I couldn't run for 5 weeks. I had to cancel my September goal race and had to start from scratch. I did a lot of adjustments after that injury.
My take aways:
1. Strength training is very important.
2. Fine tuning my training plan considering my current fitness.
3. Eat right. (I have gouty arthritis so i avoid high purine foods)
4. Respecting my rest days
5. Investing on massage sessions for proper recovery
6. 8hrs sleep is very effective.
Hope you recover quickly! Thank you always for your tips and encouragement! ❤
Thanks 😊
I'm new to your channel Goran but it is videos like this which compelled me to subscribe. Thank you for making them; your humanity really shines through, not to mention your subject matter which will resonate with all runners. I'm 5 weeks+ into a grade two ankle sprain (done while trail running in wet conditions in Whistler!), with the Queenstown Marathon in just under 3 weeks' time. I hate being injured and not being able to run every day. But I've stuck to the physio tasks, kept my static bike, elliptical and swimming work going, and hope to still make the race, albeit to run much slower. I need to move out of this cycle of awesome training, injury, recovery. Not overdoing things + listening to your body, as you say, are good places to start!
Thanks for your nice words I'm glad you liked the video! Og sorry to hear about the ankle sprain but sounds like you are doing the right things in your recovery, hope you get to run the race!
Thanks for your honesty. Don't know many if any runners who have never been injured before. I'm pleased to report that I'm over a recent hamstring injury, which I got from pushing too hard. I'm going to be even more mindful of the need to listen to my body. It's really tempting to push past the limit, especially when we feel like we're progressing.
Love your videos. Thank you. This one hits home for me right now. I keep pushing through injuries and I know that feeling very well that you touch upon here - that feeling of regret when you realize you made the wrong decision, and if you had hung the shoes up instead of lacing them up that day, your Achilles tendon might not hurt so much as it does right now 😂
I started PT again yesterday. Slow and steady and listen to the body. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast as they say.
I love your videos and the message in this one was important. I think the best is older runners can hope for is to survive our training mistakes and come back stronger! Best of luck Goran.
Thanks 😊Well said!
This is such excellent advice and commentary. I hope and pray that you're back to your regular running plans soon.
Thanks 🙏
Yo Goran....good health and quick recovery dude! It is brutal when we can't enjoy the simple activity of going for a run. Also...I always think of your two girls as newborns so it was cool to see them splashing around and growing up (little penguins!)! You definitely have a challenge balancing your life!
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this. I've been dealing with a knee tendon injury for two months and haven't run much at all. Hearing someone else saying the same things I feel is so helpful.
Glad to hear you found it helpful and good luck with your recovery from the injury!
Love your videos! I have Morton’s too, what helped was waiting for the pain to subside and strengthening the foot combined with wide barefoot style shoes or Vibram FF for everyday use, walks/hikes/shorter runs and wide foot shaped shoes with cushioning for longer or weighted runs. All the best!
I appreciate the honesty you showed in this video. Usually CZcams personalities don't show their humanity. We always want to show our best side, but it's nice to see that you're human like the rest of us. "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." - Jean-Luc Picard. Recover well.
I hope you make a follow-up, Goran!
I ran a trail race October 21st (my first one!) with 4 friends who invited me to complete the short course (11.6km trail run). I had burning pains in my stomach since Friday that I disregarded only on Tuesday to end up needing emergency gallbladder removal surgery. No running, muay thai, golf, or any of my outdoor fun (even not work for a few days). Truly makes me appreciate that health is wealth! It's going to be a long 5 or so more weeks for internal healing, but getting little walks has kept the spirit up.
Hope your foot heals soon
hello, I really love how you explain things. IF you could do a video on running shape/ how land your foot, how much you need to rise your foot etc would be awesome
I started to train in May this year and now I train regularly. But for a beginner it's so hard to find a balance and not train too much, especially when I see some progress (my first 5km in May - 30:31, in October - 27:22). Happy to found your channel, it helps a lot! Greetings from Poland 😊
Sorry for your injury. :( Thanks for sharing..
For me it’s exactly the same. A few weeks ago, I got periostitis. I’m on school holidays and I have a lot of work to do, and these negative feelings like anxiety and stress have started creeping in. This made me realize how dependent I am on running. Can’t wait to run again… Good luck on your recovery and thanks for the video!
Same here. I did my first marathon about a month ago. I haven't run much since and just last night my wife asked if everything is alright. I've noticed I feel sluggish and not motivated since I stopped running. With winter coming I fret because I can't stand running on treadmills.
Just have to get back at it.
Goran, roll out the calf muscles 2-3 x day. It really helps. I'm running normal with Morton's - I got it after running a twisty and turny 10k race. I'm able to run at all the paces I train and race at, as long as I target rolling out the calf muscles and shin too. Also, wearing barefoot shoes at work really helps.
Thanks for the tip!
I had that issue last year. I believe it was because I started to do too much forefoot strikes while running, it was that much the pain that I did a 44 minutes a 10k race (when expecting 41). So, I did 1. reduce weekly/monthly mileage, 2. started doing grass mid foot strike type of running., 3. while seat I never rest my injured foot on the ground, I rest it on something soft or in the air, or above the other feet. Now I have been doing consistently 60-65 km a week for 8 months with no major issues. Of course I don't increase milage substantially until I feel prepared. Now I'm doing 37:30 and I have beaten my PR
Great video thanks Goran. I've found diversifying (properly and actually diversifying ha!) has been the best way to stay injury free and get to my fittest ever, with seemingly less effort. I believe its probably because i've just been able to be more consistent over a longer period of time. And rather than just being able to run forever, i'm now a much more rounded athlete. Hard when your 1st love is running as you say. I also now love a long road ride, or a quick CX MTB ride or a Obstacle course session :-)
Cool to hear, tahnks for sharing!
One tip, is if injured you can get your cardio burn by cycling or swimming as opposed to doing extra strength, core or stretch focused sessions. Largely as those disciplines probably aren't using the same muscle groups as your running injury, not always clearly 🙂
You probably know this, just sharing a perspective. Thanks for sharing yours 🙂
Muy buena reflexión, excelente video. Muchas gracias
Five months in to a double Achilles tendonitis brought on by my own stupidity. Thanks for admitting your own mistakes but I wonder if I would have listened to your advice back before I got injured. Probably not. The pressure to race and perform, even when you are only a muppet like me, is enormous, at least n my own head.
I can definitely relate. Downhill running is brutal on the body. In my 50s, I try to avoid whenever possible.
Tjena! Really enjoying your running content. Any recommendations for great marathons, or ultras? Looking for a great spring/summer marathon in 24'.
I really feel this, i once nearly ran every day for a whole year and my body Finally said now when i fractured my hip. Luckily I'm into Triathlon so i started swimming then strength training then cycling and finally running again
Thanks for these wise words. I'm currently recovering and could have saved myself significant pain if I had just listened to my body...
Hope you have a quick recovery!
Man, injuries SUCK. I feel for you - I was injured earlier this year for about 5 months (calf). What I would recommend to anyone who is injured is: keep up fitness as much as you can by cross training (which doesn't hurt your injury) like Eliptical or Swimming. And other than that - look up the best way to recover FROM A GOOD SOURCE. And take your time recovering.
something i learned from my last injury: Do not continue with any running for a month - just do slow walking. It's impossible to run as "slow &soft" as you should to be able to recover, so just stop and also do not try to make up for missed training sessions with other sports. Start with a different sport after one month and with running after two months. Honestly, so far this is the best way to recover (for me), but maybe it'll help whoever reads this, too. :)
I am going through exact same injury 😢..and my mental peace is into pieces
Yup, injuries suck. Watching this 3 weeks post broken ankle surgery after a trail slip caused by not just paying attention. I’m looking forward to my return in a few months and will remember to smile!
Ah sorry to hear about that and I wish you the best of luck in your way back to running!
Go hard !!!!!
I've been running 10 miles at a time, most every day (I'm bulking and so no running right now), at 40 years old.
I ran 50 miles wearing a 50lb vest in the tightest track at 163' per lap. (1,620 laps)
I avoided injury by using a weighted sled, how I built the track.
I dragged it, pulled it, yanked it and shoved that tire sled around my yard 1000s of times.
My knees are bulletproof, my ankles, hips, back and especially my chest (built up from wearing that vest while huffing and puffing around). Sucking in massive amounts of air has never been so easy on my runs since training in the vest.
Weighted sleds and vests will build everything you need to bulletproof your running.
I'm so guilty on poin nr 2!
Take the good with the bad, if you get injured from running you can always start with roadcycling!
I started my running journey in 2015 in sabotaged myself by running too hard and getting all types of injuries (shin splints, stress fracture, inflamed toe flexors, achillis tendon etc). I wasted years by doing that and did maybe 2-3 runs per month during coronayears. Now i'm back into training, and taking the 80/20 principle serious, using well cushioned neutral shoes and i run 60+ km per week, which was unthinkable back then. Patience is key.
Thanks for sharing and really cool to hear how making smart training choices has allowed you to run that much!
Dude has the right mindset.
Calorie restriction is the b*tch when injured, bc your normal routine is probably burning double your BMR. When sedentary at home all you think about is hunger...
Also agree the outdoors is critical, even without the run. Probably more than the running actually.
Yeah that's true!
Tick tock tick tock - i can hear it, the day with FULL recovery is closer & closer... 💪✌️
Thanks I hope you are right 😁
What I do to prevent injury is to make cycling a part of my training. When I’m not injured I do 30% cycling, 70% running and I’ve noticed it prevents injuries compared to when I run 100%. When I’m injured I do only cycling
A month ago I had done my usual 10K run and by the end of it I could not walk anymore due to intense pain in my crotch. It’s been a month and recently I just started to be able to walk without a limp. A month without running, and I am in a total funk 😢 Very frustrating, and I have to idea what I did wrong or what the injury is. I’ll use your video for inspiration and will try to run even if it’s just 10 min a day.
I pushed it to much this summer now my Achilles and heel are in so much pain I can barley walk. It was so hot/humid Florida. I know I was dehydrated, but pushed it anyways. Now I’ve been out since Aug 28 th. Biking and swimming are so boring. I’m just getting fat and lazy.
Hope you''ll be fine!
Yep, I got a very similar injury. However I got cortizone shots which helped bring down the swelling a lot, and now it might actually be something different. MRI scheduled this week.
Sorry to hear, hope it get better soon!
Thank you for making this great video. I just got injured as well and I feel that it is making my life and running way worse
Glad you liked it and I wish you a speedy recovery!
I hope that you will get better soon. On April I did the dame mistake. I overtrained, didnt hear my body so I got injured. It took me 3 months to feel strong to train again. So I simpathise you.💪
Agree! From my recent experience - if you start a run and it hurts STOP! I didn't and I'm now into week 8 of a knee injury. It is getting better slowly and I'm getting physio but any impact still hurts. I've found walking and cycling are good as is Yoga/Pilates/weights. As Goran says, don't take your running for granted and listen to your body!
Sorry to hear, hope you are able to run soon again!
Thanks - I did have a dream about running a couple of weeks ago!@@goranwinblad
Do you have any recommendation for IT Band syndrome issue?
I started to run a few months ago, I was improving a lot, and now my side part of my knee hurts a lot :(
Will your Morton's Neuroma eventually disappear given time and rest/physio? A friend of mine has this condition and she has been advised to try RF (radio frequency) ablation or steroid injections.
Goran, what your strava used? Free or pro
Made the same mistake. (looking back at it) Downloaded at training plan, for 9 weeks, to prepare for my 65K trail run (back in March 2021, I turned 65 in the month before) and in the end it turned out the training plan was too much too fast and I ended up with a split tendon in my foot. And now I have to live with it that I can't do any long runs any more. And Yes I managed to run the 65K 😀
I got Morton's for about 2,5 years ago.
Don't bother with all kinds of tips and tricks; just let the surgeon cut it out. Saves time and works better.
I tried the first, but should have gone straight to the latter.
I was fine after a couple of weeks rest post-op.
I got the neuroma after hiking in narrow shoes on La Gomera. (I never use Salomons ever again)
I run less these days and very rarely get injured. I run a shorter distance a few times a week and cross train by rock climbing and rollerblading. I enjoy running much more now because of lowering the intensity
Thanks for sharing!
It’s so frustrating… been running regularly only since summer last year and been taking it slow. Barely above 10k in a week. First my right knee started to hurt at the inside (pes anserinus), got a check up and got insoles and a sports knee support sleeve. Worked wonders, knee pain was instantly gone. Got to running again and after 2 weeks I got pain on my left foot (inside of the ankle) and got a compression sleeve for it, have been doing strengthening exercises as well but it still persists.
I hate it. I love running and would love to do it more, but my body keeps saying no. I’d understand it if I had been doing way to much too soon, but I really don’t run that long or that much or that hard and still I get these problems. Frustrating!
Hi, I have been watching your videos for a while and this academy year am working on a tool that could help runners keep their injury risk as low as possible. I was wondering if you could give me any tips for my project and what parameters the tool best tracks for lowering injury risk. Eg stride frequency, stride length, internal stress through knees/legs.
It would be a technologic tool that the runner can wear on his ankle or on the top of the shoe.
Maybe the amount of vertical distance the head moves is an objective indicator of stress on the body? More up and down, more stress. Speed and acceleration and deceleration and directional changes are the common reasons for stressI suppose.
@@ephorntube . Verry true. higher oscilations = more energy you waste to 'jumping up and down' and increase in force going through your knees when you land from your jump. idealy you try to keep the vertical oscilations of your feet as low as comftrable / possible
Injury sucksssss so much
I know you will make lemonade from this lemon
You will come back stronger and faster❤
I've been in the same position, and definitely it sucks. I strongly believe correct shoes do help. But, not what mainstream media says! Not "barefoot /minimal type " shoes! The opposite, modern firm supportive shoes are best ! I did the whole progressive incremental training with walk/jog +exercises and gradually increasing distance and intensity. But I got injured and slower/ weaker! Fact is modern roads and surfaces we run on are unnatural. So we need better protection from the shoes we choose.
Im sitting here watching this after fracturing my 5th metatarsal on Thursday morning. 200m into my run i slipped off a curb 😔
Ah sorry to hear, good luck with your recovery and hope you will be running soon again!
Hi Göran. Great Video, I also had Morton Syndrome. In my case a certain way of massaging the foot took really good care of it. If you still struggle with your injury let me know, I am happy to detail it for you, maybe it works for you as well. For me it took care of the injury in a matter of days. Best of luck with your running!
I would gladly listen to your detailed way og massaging the foot, as I have the same problem.
Think of an injury as a cut in the skin , it will open up again and again if it’s not allowed to heal
You and " ben is running" injuried!!!
00:35 *Grammar *"How you and me could become less vulnerable"..
This should be "How you and I could become ".. (This is a common mistake. If unsure, just break the sentence up into two: "How you become less vulnerable" and "How I (not "me") become less vulnerable".. and see which sounds correct..
See a foot and ankle surgeon and get it excised?
5 weeks of struggle and no mention of seeing a physiotherapist?
I’m 64 years old and have been running for 50 years. If a day or two of rest don’t help then some professional treatment are a quicker way back! 😊
