I need to Rant

Slimline chips

Did a 13m run Saturday felt fine then while walking Monday morning my right archiles just gave way on me, applied
(RICE) never had this problem before.

Seeing physio tommorrow, but if honest I think this is serious, cannot see myself in this FLM,

just wanted to say i'm totally pissed off, gutted etc and needed to rant my frustrations. It was also a charity place so cannot defer.

you need to decide what you are going to do

if you didnt have Stockholm as well-id say waklk the FLM

but you dont want to be out of both

Don't give up yet - lots of people (myself included) have probs, some you can get over.

Keep the faith!

Scott
can you actually walk at the mo

just read again what you wrote

RFJ

You have got 3 weeks eyt till you have to defer.... wait out and see what happens, with physio and treatmeant if needed.

But as limping says we have all had or are having issues.

I had suspected viral pnuemonia back in Jan / Feb and knocked me well of my perch, but looks like I will be able to still run at FLM, but have had to ditch two ther maras on route inc a ultra which would have been my first.

Hope all goes well for you Scott.

Scott, you're not out yet. Wait and see what the physio says.

I know how you're feeling as I've had a persistant knee prob.

I'll keep my fingers crossed and best of luck with recovery.

ps Feel free to rant away on here.

Plodding hippo, I cant put much weight on it at all, even when it's elevated (as it is now)i can feel it pulsating and it's painful without even touching it.

I will listen to the verdict with the physio tomorrow and see how it is by friday.
If i can do this, 13m will be my longest run, I think i may even take the jog walk approach

Thanks everyone for the support.

er, maybe you should go to A and E

i hope you havent ripped it

Slimline chips

To be honest PH i'm actually thinking that it's a possible rip.

I did see a man on crutches in the FLM once,and it did briefly cross my mad mind.

you need a diagnosis Scott

bloody hell, you arent having much luck are you

RFJ

Scott Thake PHs advice, and go to A&E, it doest sound good from what you have said - and get someone else to drive you there.

scott, hippo is a medical doc.
If she says A&E, you go to A&E!

woke up today and still in pain, but leg felt much better,

physio said it was a strain, he recommended heel supports as he said i'm placing strain on my calfs, said i should start running at the weekend, but take it easy and not place an emphasis on the finishing time on marathon day.

feeling much more positive today,

Big thanks for the advice everyone
