By the way, check out the 'Leg Imbalance' thread esp the posts by NateinAussie. The guy describes a hip alignment exercise that also helped me a lot.
May be for the purposes of aligning yr hip alone, this exercise will help. But as for the muscular imbalances and nervous system, u still need to do resistance work and clockwise running.....
Also try incorporating a lot more strght strides and strght out-and-back routes in yr current training. These help to brg balance to yr clockwise/counterclockwise running. You would probably still be running w a limp BUT DO NOT STOP YR RUNNING SESSIONS.
(Of course, exercise yr common sense and REST if u must, but in the long run, DO NOT GIVE UP)
IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, PROBABLY MUCH MORE TIME THAN U OR I AM PREPARED TO SPEND, IN FIXING THE PROBLEM.
Like Alex S said in his last post, it wil take a long time to regain what is yr 'natural' movement patterns. All that I have written/suggested in this thread r by no means magical quick-cures. I agree w Alex S that abt 1 yr+ at least is needed, and even after that IT IS A LIFE-LONG PROCESS OF CONSCIENTIOUS MAINTAINANCE of that regained balance and coordination.
Just like how runners spend so much time and energy trying to find the best balance in training the various energy systems for their chosen events, and finding that the balance changes somewhat fr year to year, season to season, so is it with this loss of coordination problem.
Fr yr descriptions I would say that yr case is the CLASSIC EXAMPLE of overdoing counterclockwise running. I know what u mentioned abt yr training situation in yr school days. But maybe u shd double-check bec yr memory may not have served u that well in this situation. Sometimes we do not want to remember certain things bec they hurt too much....
Again, all the best in yr healing
