Get back to running

Hi to all runners out there

I am new to the traxee site and I have not been running for three weeks now, due to some back and or sacroiliac problem and the pt and chiropractor are not on the same page with me. Chiro says stop running and pt says we don't really know if running is the problem. He told me go for a run and see how you feel and yesterday I did I could hardly wait (I was getting runner withdrawals) and I  felt good, I ran for 30 min. and slower than my reg pace and I was sooooo refreshed. I am not were I used to be as far as my time.Here is the deal , I always run the Rock N Roll Half Marathon on Feb 28th, which is comming up soon!!! I want to go for it but I am a little skeptic 1. do I have enough time to train properly and will I not get injured training for this. By the way I did not get hurt running, it happend at the gym on a stability ball. I need some advise and input please.

Thanks

Elke

Traxee user bmoore Hi Elke! Thanks for your question. It is incredibly frustrating when the doctors can't agree and it leaves you not knowing what to do. I get it. Interestingly, one of the other Traxee members has the exact same problem (sacroilliac). She was preparing for a marathon last year (she was up to 18 miles) when she began to experience pain so severe that she couldn't run at all). I should tell you that she is now up to 9 miles again without pain. Now, I am not a doctor, so I have to disclaim that mine is not medical advise, OK? You didn't mention where you were in your training when you first started having the problem, but your ability to run the half will depend upon your ability to do the mileage pain free no closer than 7-10 days before the race. This is the only way you are going to know if you can do it. Depending upon your fitness level it IS possible to train for the half in 8 weeks. I actually did it in 5 weeks myself last year. However, you need to be REALLY careful as you increase your mileage and watch out for ANY back pain. I suggest you let a friend know where you are running and carry your cell phone if you can so that you can call someone if you need help getting back. As far as training goes - don't expect to achieve a race PR or anything. If you want to see the training plan that I used last year, go to this Traxee URL: http://www.traxee.com/posts/493-tempting-fate-13-1-in-5, or you can check the Hal Higdon training site, which has a lot of great training programs of varying lengths. REMEMBER...pain means STOP NOW! There's only one thing worse than missing your planned race and that's being "benched" for weeks while recovering from a severe injury. Let us know how it goes. ;-)
