I've had my fair share of setbacks due to injuries. Currently dealing with a nagging IT band issue. What's the most frustrating injury you've had to overcome? Was it a stress fracture, shin splints, or something else? How did you recover and get back to running?
Plantar fasciitis was the worst for me. Took months to recover, but rest and patience were key.
IT band issues are the worst. Had to deal with it last year and it took me a while to figure out the right stretches and exercises to alleviate the pain. Never had plantar fasciitis, but I've heard it's a real pain to deal with. Glad you were able to recover from it.
For me, it was a bout of tendonitis in my ankle. Frustrating because it seemed to come out of nowhere and took forever to heal. I had to take a break from running and focus on stretching and strengthening exercises. It was tough, but eventually I got back to running. IT band issues are no fun, hope you're able to get on top of it soon!
