Yes the stress fracture put me out a few weeks, but I blame my shoes! My body does start trying to rebel at this point in the training. I do not know if it is the tons of miles each week or just I have been running like this for a long time. I told my DH that I think my body is build for distance more than speed though. I can run SLOW forever. It doesn't bother me to much, but I am also trying to get faster and I think this is what my body is rebeling against!MelRhoads said:Christa - it's a funny thing that you mentioned the stress fracture. I was just telling phil my symptoms last night and asking if I had a stress fracture!!!! I don't think it is (obviously, phil didn't either. I guess it's not even in the right spot for one!) My right leg is giving me probs! My knee and ankle have been bothering me. I'm guessing that the long runs are just wearing me down. My gait is funny. I run differently with my left leg than i do my right. I have been using some stabilizing shoes more than the cushioning shoes, but I think I may need to stick to the cushion and no stabilizing! I am going to buy a new pair this week. Do you experience body breakdown with all of the long runs? Maybe my body is just not made for this stuff!
