I identified with this post. I’m training for my first marathon (a trail race with lots of climbing), and have been dealing with posterrior tibial tendonitis off and on. I did a 22 mi run, and it sent me limping the next day.
I’ve rested for 2.5 weeks (cutting my mileage by 1/2, icing, taping my arch, etc.) and it feels good. I have 2 more long runs before I taper, but I’m super-nervous about blowing it and not being able to race–esp. since I’v already purchased the plane tickets…
Advice?

I’m a big fan of your blog, and was happy to see what a positive experience the MCM was for you. One line in this post really grabbed my attention: ” I used to think it did, but I’ve learned in the past two years that it’s very possible to build a solid mileage base, maintain it, and run long distance races without those nagging and more-serious overuse injuries we’re all familiar with”. Sacre blueu – is it possible??!! I seem to be continually battling over-use injuries, and I’m sure many of your readers would LOVE to see you write a post specifically addressing this topic. If you already have written on this, could you please point me in the direction to find it, and if not, would you consider writing one? Your hobbling fans await…
