| CleverSky | 23 days | Waited it out: stayed off of pavement, and took a bit of a break from running at all. I did have one serious relapse where it hurt a lot, but as of the 12th, it seems like I can run (on soft surfaces, anyway) without any pain. | details |
| Manfred | 28 days | Running with wrong technique hence having flat feet which gave extra pressure to my R-ankle. | details |
| Sswede | 29 days | I've learned that shoes may be overrated and that the left foot fractures are most likely attribiuted to a bunion and medial deviation of the first metatarsal. The bone may have healed but I need surgery to fix the underlying issue. | details |

| Adh007 | 40 days | Not sure if I'm truly recovered, might just be less noticeable with the current reduction in running volume. That said, a lower running volume seems to work well for me as long as I maximize the quality of the running that I do. | details |
| tinytoes | 42 days | Over use in summer; orthotics updated afterwards. Caught it early and iced it as well as stretching and easing of usage.Need to be more diligent on stretching, not just when injured. | details |
| Thoto | 43 days | Tut noch hin und wieder weh, schaeint aber erstmal wieder zu gehen. | details |
| alan | 44 days | details | |
| jtruns | 48 days | No running for 4.5 weeks, ice to start to reduce swelling. I was able to ride the bike two weeks after injury | details |
| immy | 50 days | Don't run in inov8s alone for a month in terrain that's harder than you're used to. That's all I have to say. | details |
| AWiese | 53 days | Just because you've got holidays, don't double your volume from one week to the next, dummy. | details |

| Sswede | 82 days | Definately from wearing old shoes. Will now use the running shoe mileage counter on the AP! | details |
| Sid | 92 days | Shoe were too old when I injured my foot. Change shoes at 150 mile mark not above 200 miles. | details |

| swolfe | 111 days | Out of the cast on 10/30. Lots of ice, NSAID's and PT helped me to recover. I still have some soreness and mild discomfort, but that is to expected with a broken bone. body work, ankle mobility and range of motion is key in recovery. | details |
| cortelmcm | 113 days | details | |
| tinytoes | 136 days | Now in rehab. Never acknowledged it as injured except while orienteering. Extremely tight calf muscles were the major contributors, plus wearing incorrect orthotics. (both now rectified). | details |
| EmmaC | 151 days | Caused by too much road running! | details |
| cmpbllv | 155 days | None of the above. I think this was dropping the marble rolling pin on my foot while making pizza. It had already healed, hence it showed up on x-rays. Not sure I'd even call this a stress reaction, and my docs seemed equally confused, so ultimately, I call BS! | details |
| JonD | 164 days | i am going to mark this as complete and hope for the best. I feel some weakness in the ankle and some "clicking" when I rotate it, but I think the 5 weeks off running has helped. I was never completely convinced of the stress fracture diagnosis - this felt more like the tendonitis I had in my knee. Note from 7/19/2008 - Exercising this ankle w/ focus on strengthening it ("alphabet" plus 20 seconds raised foot) has helped a lot | details |
| Chief | 167 days | Overpronation is the root cause although my super busy racing/training for past couple years without proper rest/recovery didn't help... | details |

| velocity girl | 875 days | Still niggles from time to time, just have to watch how much impact training I do in a given week. Feeling it a little bit in Jun-Oct 12 during periods of heavy training. | details |
