Welcome Lucy, it is great to have you here!

What kind of injury did you get? I think that the best way to get some good advice would be to post a question in the Sports and Recreation forum with your specific issues. We do have a doc that stops by the forum every so often, so he might be able to offer some advice as well.

Great - thanks Damien, I'll do that. Lucy

Hi Lucy, When you say "stress injury", what exactly do you mean? Have you been to a doc about it? Best things for it if it's the foot would be to ice the area a few times a day, and take a week off from running. If it feels good, try running a short distance, and see if the pain returns. If not, then slowly increase the miles again. Also, be conscious of your form- that's something all BF/minimalist runners need to pay attention to, especially when starting out. Best of luck!

Hey,

Nope, haven't been to a doctor, but the pharmacist said something like that and gave me a little cushion thing to wear under the ball of my foot until it recovered. Lots of icing too.

Foot is absolutely fine now and I'm back running, albeit a bit more mindfully.

Thanks,

Lucy
