BEST FOOT FORWARD - recognising and recovering from a metatarsal fracture.

A foot injury is never good news for a hill walker; but when my injury became ever more painful and prolonged, due to professional misdiagnosis and mistakes made on my part, it was hard to believe that I’d ever be tramping the trails again. Metatarsal stress fractures are quite common amongst athletes, long distance runners and hikers, so here’s hoping that other active outdoor enthusiasts can learn from my experience.

Would you run for burritos?

Most adults know that food shouldn’t be used as a reward for our children’s achievements but for some reason we don’t think that this applies to ourselves. Especially among endurance runners because sometimes good food can be the best motivation to carry on.
