ok i've decided to share my training with you all ;D after having a 10 day rest (due to my sore ankle or to be exact 2" above my ankle on the inside of my right leg..  ) i went for a 3.75mile jog at 8.5 min mile pace..this was on 24th dec and i puffed and puffed .it was hard after the rest.. my ankle was ok during but hurt after .only slightly. i went again on the 26th dec for 7.5 mile at 9.5 min mile pace..that felt ok but my ankle went mad afterwards.. 28th dec..today i had a 2.75mile jog at 9 min mile pace followed by 6 fast-ish runs up knot lane ,then a short jog back home..that was hard and i was puffing even before i got to knot lane..my ankle went mad again  and is still on one now..... got to train though....i think i'll carry on with the training in the hope that it sorts its self out (by mid jan),with the help of deep heat ,ice and diclofenac sodium... |

I'm no physio but it sounds like this is not going to heal itself if you keep training on it.
Re-read what you wrote:
I suggest you get someone to look at it. Is there swelling? Bruising?
Ice, rest, elevation and anti-inflammatories, of course. :-)
If you really must, try it out on the bike and see if it still hurts.
London is a long way off. No need to panic but if you don't get this sorted out you'll be watching it on telly.
Keep us updated.

Hi Mackers I have been pondering whether to reply to you post, didn't know whether to poke my nose in or not but here goes. Mackers your crackers (sorry couldn't resist it) if you keep impact training. The injury will not go away by training (running) and the Diclophenac will lead you into a false sense of security. You will subconsciously favour the injury and this will probably manifest itself in a new injury on the other side of your lower body. Rick is right there is plenty of time and a week lost now (yes another one) will not put you back in fact it will probably be the difference between getting to the start line or not. The important thing is to carry on training by doing cardiovascular work without impact cycling,swimming etc. The next important thing is to come back into impact training by power walking for a couple of weeks you could then try jogging on easy underfoot terrain on hills. You need to ignore any photocopy of a training schedule. Finally you need to be advised by one of the Middle distance coaches I would suggest Alan Appleby and if he tells you any crap report him to me. Seriously best wishes getting to the start line fit and well is the first part of the achievement.  |

Mackers just realised I put ON HILLS in the wrong place
it should read power walking for a couple of weeks on hills ;Dnot at the end of the above paragraph

Don't know about Pete but I'm speaking from experience. I once trained on an injury until I broke down, no doubt using similar training theory to the one you were employing. :-) I didn't race for a year. This was partly due to the fact I kept on coming back too soon. Be warned
Have you had your leg checked out?
Last week I thought something had got out of whack on the inside of my right ankle. Thought It might have happened while I slept. I knew I hadn't gone over on it. Tried, ice,heat Advil to little effect. Missed taking the Advil one night and the next morning I couldn't put any weight on the foot. Visited the Doc. Turned out to be gout, which has now finally gone after 2 weeks. Time for a beer! ;D

fri ..20km on cycle machine in 50min (is that good?) 15 mph. Good? I suppose it depends on the resistance. Does the cycle machine have a heart rate monitor? |
