tendonitis question

bump?

Scruff:

I am suffering from the same thing; mine got better when I switched to lighter weight shoes (asics waffles/cc spikeless) I had to work on my form quite a bit as well. My problem stems from my hips being out of alignment, they rotate pushing my left hip forward and my right hip back. I do theraband exercises and stretches/strengthening work, and use a wobble board to work on ankle strength/mobility. I re-injured mine in a 10k road race recently, the last .2 when I was kicking it going around a steep curve. I just landed wrong then pop. I had to take 8 days off totally. In the summer, I was running around 5-10 miles a week barefoot which seemed to help with it as well. Just add the little things up and over a cumulative period of time it may work. Its worth a shot to:

Get a theraband via the 'net and do some basic exercises for your hips, hams, glutes, quads.

Practice resistance training - pushing outward and inward with the bad foot to strengthen that tendon

Go to a chiropractor and let him/her check you out

Get a wobble board and try to practice working that one leg.

Hope that helps.
