p^2 Aug 2011 12:20am, 20 Aug 2011 4 posts	0 p^2 Maybe popliteus strain, which gave me some trouble a couple of years ago. I found stretch band exercises helpful in building strength. See description at rocklandroadrunners.org Also concentrated on running form: for a couple of weeks, concentrated on not allowing my shin to rotate outward between touchdown and push-off (i.e keep toes pointing straight ahead, not allowing them to drift to pointing outward). After that and a bit of strengthening I could run without pain on smooth surfaces. Rough terrain took a while longer.

Got something to say?
