Was spending a couple of weeks with the physio every 3-4 months as I increased my mileage which was very frustrating. ITB, tendanitis etc..., seemed every time I sorted an issue out it just transferred the problem elsewhere. About 5 months ago I read 'The Cool Impossible'- Eric Orton. The book has a 're-training' program as well as specific foot/ankle/hip etc.. exercises to help strengthen the body for running. I basically needed to train myself to run differently, different posture, stride, foot strike- which took a couple of months- but having done that I am now doing 20% more mileage than I was able to before the change and been injury free through-out. Sore muscles and feet from the use of different muscle groups, but no injuries. Not sure if it will work for everyone, but I obviously had some serious muscle weakness and bad technique.
