What should I do? Limit at 3 treadmill miles, 2x per week

Lots of aquajogging. Follow this plan. I did this for a summer and nearly PR'd in a 5k off of almost no running.

OP here, I'd like to clarify my own post:

I'd move on to other sports/hobbies, but really just to get over my injury. At 3-6 mpw, I am basically walking injured and probably need to boot/PT/surgery to actually recover rather than continually re-injure myself every single week with some maniacal tmill workout

Find a new sport... Seriously... You're just abusing yourself

if this isn't a troll, move to the sprinting side and look up "feed the cats" training. seems to get good results for high school kids off of very little running. what running they do is basically 30 meter fly type stuff, i.e. very little time spent at sub-maximal velocity.

if you can't run more than 6 miles a week without getting injured, you are a rare bird and distance running is just not something you are gonna see success in. no way you would approach 10:00 for 2 miles unless you are insanely talented.

If I was having this issue, I might consider getting into triathlons, which would allow me to still do lots of cardio and compete, without having to bang out so many miles on my feet.

Alternately, you could get into power yoga. I had to take 2 years off running for an ankle injury and I did power yoga 5 days per week (my wife's an instructor). I assumed I'd never run again. But on a whim I tried running again after 2 years and my ankle was fine. I've now built up to higher mileage than I've ever run (50-70 mpw) and my ankle is somehow fine, after two years of banging out road miles. I'm not sure if it was all the stretching and strengthening from the yoga or just the two year rest, but I'm back to running 100% now, more and better than ever before.

My point is not to convince you to switch to any one particular form of exercise or to stop running, only that switching it up for a period of time can sometimes help.

haha i've enjoyed these answers, thanks.

I was a decent runner back in my college days, gave 4:00 a scare, but just enough foot and shin stress fractures and now chronic calf and groin strains that my body can't do too much more than what i've explained anymore. Hit 1.5 miles in 7:24 yesterday (0.5% grade, treadmill) and it just got me wondering what others who like running and like going fast might do with this situation
