I have injured my back-it's along term injury, pelvis misaligned which means that my joints are all out and this leads to neck and glute problems...anyway...ive got a place to do london...do i defer or wait and see what happens? I am seeing a chiropractor who says gievs runnign a miss for a few weeks but then i'll be well down on my schedule...what to do then? try and do it just to get round or train properly next year? nightmare! how many weeks can i seriously leave before i have left it too late? i am of a relatively good standard at the moment (or was before my back!!)
any advice please!!

I have no advice for you except to follow all the advice you are given. And trust how you are feeling - if you don't feel you can do yourself justice, then defer.
I have been off running for a month now with one illness after another (no injury which is a miracle for me) and I am in the same boat as you with regards to deferring. I am just going to wait and see - there is plenty of time to defer anyway.
Good luck and hope you recover quickly.
thanks to you both-it is just so depressing and im severely fed up. eating too much because im fed up, not running so putting on weight=great!
roobarb-what time would you have done if you were fit?
evil pixie-was it frustrating going round in a slower time or were you just pleased to ahev done it? do you mean you didnt run at all for the 8 weeks before?
Sounds like it's down to you. Right now I can run for a couple minutes (fitness not due to the neck) so I'll be walking much of the way anyway I should think! So if I get injured but can walk I'll still be doing it and not letting my charity down!
Sounds like you might be someone who's more bothered about your time though. In which case if it's going to be a fairly long term problem then I guess it might be better to defer. I think there's time to wait to make that decision though isn't there?
This year, I just want to do sub 5 which is what I planned for last year.
My back pain is something entirely different to yours in that running actually helps it cos it stretches it for me.
If you decide to go ahead, then perhaps its right not to go for a 'time'. Just enjoy the day and I can guarantee you will. It was the best day I had had out in ages!
Don't know, just hurts!
Anyway, I'm also in the catagory of some exercise helping. I also do physio exercises every day and take more prescription painkillers than I like to! My doc has ok'd me for running as long as I'm careful.
roobarb-yes i may just do it and emjoy it. are you fit this year? i wish you all the best for under 5 hours.
rowan-what a mare for you too! ye sposture plays a big part-mine is rubbish. if the doctor has oked you for running if your careful, do they mean distance wise or just overdoing it in general?
A sports physio may be of more benefit and maybe a series of pilates classes. If you're going to be spending money on this problem anyway, that's the route I'd take.
Laurac - not suggesting this applies to you.
Good luck.
am going to start doing pilates too as the forum seems to boast lots of people who have improved their core strenth because of it...stephen v-how did you do this? pilates or exercises given by your physio?chaos-you are right i think.
i am stupid though as the chirpractor told me not to run, and sunday i foolishly went to teh club and did an hour and so cant ahve done myself any favours...i am just so fed up and miss going to my running club. how sad is that?!!!
evil pixie-i may be joining you round!
Some of her other exercises just use a Swiss Ball which can be done at home quite easily (though not ones that compress the spine as part of the prob are 2 dodgy discs).
