Hi all,
I've been suffering from a tight hamstring for several months and an MRI scan in July showed that I have a degenerative disc in my lower back that is irritating the nerve. I was advised to swim or cycle but back off from running.
I'm a long-distance runner (sub 3hrs) and would love to carry on training for and running marathons (I recently turned 41).
Just wondered if any else has been through a similar experience and, if so, what distance and intensity of running you have been able to sustain without making your symptoms worse?
I know this is highly subjective as symptoms will vary from one person to another but I'm still interested in hearing about different people's experiences.
Thanks
