My physio has diagnosed me with a Peroneal tendon problem.. it was probably caused by my ankle ligament injury a couple of months ago..
I can still run but with pain. Physio has suggested I take a couple of weeks off running... but I have an race next Friday... I know.. I know I should listen to the professional....
Has anyone else experience similar sort of problems? and what sort of recovery time did it take - I hate the idea of not running for a few weeks at the START of my new training plan..

Moral of the story: a few weeks rest is better than 12 months pain and incapacity!
Good luck![:)]
I've got the same thing at the moment - well, different problem, similar recommendation - three weeks off in my case - so I'm trying to see it as a golden opportunity to improve my cycling and swimming. Because otherwise it's just too disappointing.
Had an IT band issue last year 6 weeks before London Tri last year, and acupuncture helped speed up my recover no-end. To a can I even race scenario to a 2 week build up period of light running. Also managed a PB - so all is not lost!
Good luck...
