Anecdotal reference here, but if it helps you feel better, I managed to "break my hip" (repeated stress-strain fracture) last year while training for a marathon at 32! It's crazy how little science actually goes into "modern medicine" but at least we're getting better at recovering. Good luck!

Thank you. I actually broke the femur neck during the run. I was in a bit of pain, but you learn to run with the odd bit of discomfort so for whatever reason managed to drag myself around the remaining 6 miles of the course. I think that was later diagnosed as pure stupidity. About an hour after finishing I was unable to support myself so I had to go to hospital. Despite all of this I was adament that it was a muscular problem because surely you can't walk after breaking a femur. How is your running going now?

I'll be honest, I can't stand running, I've never found it particularly enjoyable and even at marathon levels, every mile is tiring. I haven't run since completing my bucket list item this spring and have been swimming instead. To the people that enjoy the activity,good for them, but it just isn't for me.
