I had an arthroscopy 2 years ago as it got just too painful to run.
Had 20% of the meniscus removed. Despite being told that I would be back running in 6 to 12 weeks it didn't work out that way two half marathons 5/6 months after the opp nearly crippled me and I have had several false starts back to running. I'm getting there but not quite yet.
Lesson from me would be - get good physio after the op and don't be too quick getting back to it all.
Good luck with that.

Everything I have bought over the last few years has been great value for money and really good wearing.

Last time the gloves were so good they sold out withing 10mins of opening.

 Agree with comment on light yellow jacket - but for that price!

 Some of my older tees now need to be washed ar a higher temp as they no longer 'freshen up' on an acrylic wash - if you get my drift.

If you havn't tried their stuff before the most important thing to say is get there for the place opening - unless you are an XXL ! it all sells out quickly.

GHH thanks for your encouragement and I hope your improvement  progresses from now on and you get the trainers on soon.

 RB - so pleased to read your post -very encouraging - Thanks! Well done on the VLM - I watched it on the telly as usual - quite a show.

I was working away from home when the ballot opened last year and 4 days later when I logged on the 120k was full so I didn't even get  a chance for a 4th refusal. So now that my 3 consecutive refusals have lapsed and they have changed the rules on that now anyway, I think I have given up on the VLM.......

.......well maybe not entierly ... I will be 60 in olympic year and would love to run it then.

Hi All

I have only run 4 times this year  in late Jan / early Feb. After a few weeks off over the icy new year break I started back and had problems which I thought were from an 8 year old skiing injury to the medial ligament (based simply on same pain, same place). Phizzy said rest it for 10 days and try again. I did and it got worse.

 Since then I have been resting on the phizzy's instructions hoping it would get better. I didn't ,so following a visit to the consultant I am now going in for an arthroscopy on Thursday.

I have no idea what will be done or what the outcome will be so was pleased to read all your reports of a slow return to running afterwards.

I have had to let 2 half marathons I had entered go by now and am keen to get back to my running asap. Going from 20miles a week to nothing, I have put on a stone since January!

Good luck with the recovery phase everybody.

Cheers
