A Serious Runner Gets a Running Injury

It happens to even the most serious of runners: a running injury. After running through an injury hoping it all works out, a serious runner needs to take some serious time off. He'll pick up some cross training for runners, such as cycling and swimming, and use this time to catch up with friends who are far less serious runners, and get some physical therapy to make progress on running injury recovery.
While recovering from running injuries takes time and patience, in the meantime there's aggravation and running injury depression... will a serious runner be able to recover???

Same I injury my tendonitis back in march I get depressed when I see someone run. Even told my self it okay I go for run and I remember I can’t hit one mile before it start to hart. It took about six month too heal.

There's no such thing as non-serious runner. When you hop in you're in the game.

Getting an injury just shows how much of a serious runner you are. Imagine being a serious runner but never having an injury, try explaining that to other serious runners..

I, too, am a serious runner. On my one cross-training day per week, I have been known to indulge in a round or two disc golf. I find that ripping 500' drives with my putter soothes my quads and tightens my core!

This is me. I increased my running mileage to 500km per month in April and May 2020 and got injuried. Then I took only 2 weeks off and kept running 250km per month till now. In the meantime I attended 6 marathons and ultramarathons with the injury. Of course the injury is not getting much better, and I have lots of mental stresses when using Strava too.

[@TheSeriousRunner]

Yeah, I had initially sprained my ankle in March... and have run all summer and 2 marathons on it... and it finally caught up to me. When will we learn? 🤣

[@today-nl]

@@TheSeriousRunner It is not too late. I am doing lot of stretches and exercises at home, running only on soft surface limited to max 2 hour, and it gets much better. Looking forward to the 4 marathons that I register in year 2022.

I've been borderline injured all summer... it was fine for Boston, but CIM apparently was pushing it too far. Ankle gave out at around mile 14... thought about DNFing... got back to it for another 3 or 4 miles... but then could only jog it in. Best guess right now is deltoid ligament pinch/sprain/something. but still trying to get an MRI to confirm 🤣
