So I have to give up running! I have seen a physio about the bursits she gave me a good going over. I had ran up a hill 2 months before I got to see her, this was what caused the problem. The ultrasound was to get the inflamation over quick. There was an increased improvement from the frist treatment.

I have been running since March last year, cycling for over 5 years. I am 32 years old and am fit.

Training for the marathon was based on adding 10% to the weekly milage. This I have stuck to. I now run 10K every other day and on that particular day I changed to doing hill runs. I included a steep hill and a long incline to my run. It was after that training run I noticed it had sort of flared up again.

I was hoping for some positive replys, but to suggest I put my runners in the cupboard and to start from scratch!!!

Thanks but no thanks for your help
