My new running machine.

My ligaments are the manliest around! It was my anterior cruciate - that pansy Gazza's snapped. Mine held it together like a boss and instead ripped the spine out of the top of my tibia.

Nasty stuff. It probably hurt enough to make a chap need a swift drink.

I had an avulsion fracture in my left tibia while I was a Royal Marine, and then a few more years of overcompensating while lugging my own body weight in kit on my back didn't help the other knee.

They aren't 'destroyed' but I can't run more than a mile. I do suspect that if I saw a podiatrist and got my gait compensated for it might help a lot though. I had some carbon-fibre inserts made for my boots when I was having physio after the operation and they turned me from a complete cripple to being able to run 20 miles overnight.

I'm expecting arthritis as I age, so I'm happy delaying that as much as possible by using the bike instead of running

here we go...

I once injured myself whilst serving in the British Legion.


Them pints on a tray can get quite heavy.

Sounds more annoying than painful.

I had an avulsion fracture in my left tibia while I was a Gladiator, and then a few more years of overcompensating while lugging my own body weight in kit on my back didn't help the other knee.

FTFY.
