| DragonFly | 2 days | Just let it heal naturally. Didn't do anything to stress it for a couple of days. Will need better gripping footwear to avoid such injuries. | details |

| jfredrickson | 3 days | A couple days off it did wonders. It also helped it to do as much walking as I could on it. The better it got, the more I was able to walk, and it really seemed to help keep it from stiffening up too bad which I imagine would have elongated the recovery period. | details |
| bryant | 3 days | it was mostly bruising and I can pretty much run on it again now, yay! | details |
| angelica | 4 days | Really degraded that evening, but hit it with lots of ice and it seemed to recover. | details |

| pfc | 7 days | Deep bruise on the dead center of my L quad. Nothing to do but rest and ibuprofen. Recovery was pretty quick. | details |
| robw | 7 days | Like Grant said it was good to run a bit on it even when it was sore since this seemed to help it get better. After the first day it was ok to run slowly but prob wouldnt have been good to run intervals. Wasnt much pain on the stair machine so prob could have run intervals on that if i hadnt been in London. | details |

| BanjoLasse | 12 days | Some ice would probably have helped. | details |

| Schwepps | 28 days | Kept off it for five days while I had exams and let it recover. | details |
| cmorse | 32 days | just a deep bruise, deeper part of muscle probably because I fell on some snow covered rocks on the side. Vitamin I for the first week or so (only in AM when stiff). After that just avoided squatting down. | details |
| hkleaf | 33 days | Nothing special for recovery, just plain old time. | details |
| jtorranc | 39 days | I should have iced, etc. much more in the immediate aftermath of the injury. I really shouldn't have gone to Florida and, having gone, I should probably not have run the long distance day. Physiotherapy, once I got it, produced a magical improvement. Did quite a lot of deep water running during the slightly over one month of not being able to train normally - clearly it's at least moderately effective at maintaining fitness. | details |
| SuvalineLohh | 86 days | Wont fall down any hills again. Will insist on doctors being thorough cleaning other wounds. If a bump appears, I'll go to a doctor right away. | details |
