Reading my August issue of Track & Field News. In the Status Quo section I found: '08 Olympian Erin Donohue returned to racing with an Adidas GP1000 win after missing the last 2 years due to Haglund's Deformity. The bony enlargement at the back of the heel often leads to painful bursitis and/or Achilles pain.
Thanks Bob! Yes I've checked out the photos of that so called Haglund's Deformity and mine looks and feels pretty much how they describe it! A big worry but it is not a constant problem and has disappeared before and will again with some work. If anyone reading here can help I will name my next born son after them. Well as long as they don't have a strange name like "Ewen". ;)
Ha, ha, ha! Not sure I can help Scott. A mate of mine had bursitis on the heel (quite a lump). From memory he went a few rounds of cortisone injections over a good period of time. Also, finding shoes that "worked" for him. Cutting shoes so they didn't rub, heel raisers made out of old rubber thongs; lots of experimentation and mucking about.
Anyway, hope the training continues to go well. Sean knows his stuff - good bloke.
It HAS been a while, I was about to email you. Well, glad to hear the training is going well. Let's stay healthy and get in good shape for the fall.
