    "Doctor's orders - When you "Doctor's orders - When you do it right, it's good for you!" Said with a smile. Technically, I'd be lying, since I don't have a doctor, but I know of a few who would reccomend BFR done right for almost everything that has ever ailed me. Sad to say, when you throw...

    Dirtbag,I'm pretty sure your Dirtbag, I'm pretty sure your best training bet is to gather up all the chainsaw bits you can, put them in a bucket, and run in place on them. It will be like Gravel Bucket Training For Men. -GR

  4. Too Soon To Run?

    Update:  I waited until the Update: I waited until the pain AND the swelling were both gone. Then I resumed my training schedule. No problems for a couple of runs (a short 3 & a medium 5), but yesterday's long 10 started badly and ended up being a 0.75 out and walk home. :( Both the ankle...

  5. ITBS - Steroid Injection

    The only thing I can think of The only thing I can think of that might be helpful is to ask what kind of strength training you are doing. If the underlying problem is a muscle imbalance, and you're targeting already-strong muscles instead of the weaker ones, you could be undermining your...

    I feel sorry for ME when I I feel sorry for ME when I wear shoes... but my feet aren't yet up to the kind of mileage that I'm doing. Does that count?

  10. Too Soon To Run?

    Oops... meant to post it here Oops... meant to post it here in Ask the Docs... moved. For today, I decided not to run. That makes it 3 rest days, no pain, and I'll see if there's still swelling tomorrow. It seems weird to have swelling with no pain, but I don't get injured often enough to...

  11. Too Soon To Run?

    It's just another variation on the "when can I run again?" question that we all ask. Pain is gone. (It was very low level pain to start with.) Swelling is reduced, but not entirely. Can I run yet? After my last "long" run (3 days ago, in reduced shoe, not bf) my ankle was a bit...

My advice: clear any new exercise with a doctor if you are in a higher risk catagory (most things I've read base this on age, family health history, and previous medical history of heart...

    I got sidetracked and stopped I got sidetracked and stopped running, and then needed shoes to re-start in the snow-coated windtunnel I call home. Now I had to stop completely due to the cold. (It exacerbated some medical problems - not running related.) When it's warm enough to start again...

  18. So how would this work, Barefoot Tri

    I like LB's suggestion of toe I like LB's suggestion of toe caps. Protection + attachment. Also, if it involves chopping up some of my old shoes and bolting or ziptieing them to my current pedals, than it's pretty much the only solution in my budget.

  19. Comment by 'GeorgesRun' in 'No marathon for me (at least not now)'

    Have you seen http://teampikermi.com/ ? They get a bit of flak on "that other forum" for their stance, but I gotta say, 13.1 miles is a helluva long way. In a culture planted in couches and rooted to the TeeVee, I think ALL the runners should be pretty proud (even the 20 minutes/3times a week...
