I feel all of your pain. It's frustrating when your body requires you to spend so much time stretching/strengthening to keep your body able to run- even just 20-25 mpw. I think though our injuries have made us smarter runners. It sucks though and is so frustrating. I feel as though I'm always fighting an injury (or a looming one). I stretch several times a day everyday, but my body feels so much better than it used to. I just wish I could be running during that time instead of stretching.<br><br>
I've also cut my running down to 4 days so I get more time for my body to recover. I think that has been as helpful as stretching. Maybe one day I can get back to 5 days a week, but for now 4 seems to be working at keeping me on the roads.
