An update on my (still ongoing) injury:

After essentially plateauing, and not getting any better my physio sent me to see a rehab specialist doctor who referred me for a CT scan. I had that a couple of weeks ago, and it revealed 3 injuries; the original post-tib injury, an Achilles injury (partial tear and poorly healed at the heel bone insertion point), and an old IPR tear which I had no idea I'd done.

The post-tib is not in too bad a condition, so they are going to continue the loading on that, but the heel insertion point is a cause for concern. I've been prescribed a course of shockwave therapy which is apparently blasting the area with sound waves to force the tendon into repairing itself in a predictable way. It's a 15 minute session, once a week for 5 weeks, with a 48 hour rest period followed by gradual loading. I've been told it's likely to be painful.

If anything at least you have a clearer picture of what's going on with it now mate, better of looking at it than for it, hope yer get sorted soon
 
started 10k at the age of 34. first race 50 minutes, then in a few months i run a 43 minute.. and stuck there for a few years. then i changed my training method to ''brain training'' (the book is brain training for runners / m.fitzgerald) the method is nearly the same as (80/20) but it explains clearly why 80/20 works; and about exercise psychology (i am into that academically also).... then 5 months training with this method i run 38 min /10k at the age of 38 (sure weight is the most important thing also for running-matt fitzgerald is also a pro in nutrition)
anyway i just wanted to share with you the name of the book. Matt Fitzgerald ''Brain Training for runners''. i dont wanna share pdf here but you may find it also at libgen.is...
i just saw this thread. i will visit here more often. nice to meet you... cheers

I have got that book sat on my cupboard waiting to be read, based on your comments I will push it to the top of the list.

Not a training book, but very inspirational is Eat & Run by Scott Jurek. One of the greatest ultra runners of all time. Hard not to be impressed by his achievements and like so many runners comes across as a very humble guy.

i will check that book. thanks. i love reading everything about those...

that book of fitzgerald is from 2007.... then he wrote improved versions 80/20 for running and triathlon also. he has also other books, about exercise psychology and also nutrition. you may check them.
why i recommended the 2007 book is that, i believe it is more comprehensive. and the same basics...

i am so happy to find this thread. i am an academician.. i have many branches and one of them is exercise psychology (not the main, but improving on it) so i ll be glad to discuss things here... i cant find anyone to discuss those issues... cheers...

PS: also strongly recommend ''HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT'' fitzgerald. it is a book about real stories about that practice. long distance running (actually all sports but esp long dist running is ( i mean a race performance, progress ) 90% psychological...
at the moment all the best atheletes (my semi pro friends) are using 80/20 but it is important to know why we are using it, and that 2007 book tells it. fitzgerald is god. i dont understand why he is not that popular.

ok i dont wanna write too much at the moment, but just one story; by the way i am 43 at the moment.
after i run 38 minutes /10k (puma race at istanbul, i finished 40th something - there was no up or downhills, flat), i was so happy. then there was this race Newbalace Bozcaada 10k ( an island, so many uphills and downhills and it was a race with prices so ethopian atlethes came - i was a 38 year old nothing :)) )... anyway in 2017 in the same race (before starting brain training) i run 48 minutes (hit the wall).. but 2018... i finished 7th (40 minutes, 8 minutes improvement) ; in age groups i was the second.first time a medal. happiest time of my life.
then my semi pro friends saw my success, they invited me to iron man BELEK 2018 relay. they asked me ''kerem can you run 21k'' . i said ''never run 21k before, i train for 10k, but as far as i know from the book of fitzgerald (There is this table there, it is universal) sure i can run'' they asked me ''how fast?''.
i checked the table and said ''below 1.30''. i run 1.29 2018 iron man. we finished 12th in 80 international teams.
so that method really works. then i tried to start triatlon, but i cant swim well still. swimming is so different.
anyway..ooo so many stories. nice to meet you again.
cheers. have a nice weekend.
and COME ON LIONESSES!!
