My Physio has told me to stop running due to a back injury I sustained in a car accident back in May
He has given me the green light for cycling & swimming though
I know that cycling can compensate for my run training, but how much extra should I plan to do
Should I replace my run sessions with spin sessions or on the road sessions, I usually did 2 x 10km runs each week.
I have 2 more Sprints to do this year (Jul & Sept), and I don't intend on missing them, but I want to stay off the running as advised prior to these events.
Any advice..

It's always upsetting to be banned from one of the elements but it can be a good opportunity to work on your skills in your cycling & running. Trying to look on the bright side!
I'd like some advice on this one too - I can't run either for a similar reason, except my back injury results from a trampolining accident at age 8.
I'm hoping I can run on race day and not do too much damage but is it feasible to rely on swimming, cycling and walking very fast to keep the fitness up?
I really like running but it hurts too much both physically and in the wallet to do it regularly
I went through a similar ban earlier in the year after damaging my ankle..
did the physio say anything about not being able to use the cross trainer and elipicial trainer? I found when I couldn't run this help maintian a little bit of running fitness..

I currently cycle about 2 road sessions per week (40km) and 2 turbo trainer sessions (1hr).
No mention of the cross-trainer in the consultation, I will have to check up on that one.
Best of luck.
if you can't use it tho...they're a bit crap
