i had anterior ompartment syndrome maybe a month or two ago and the way i corrected it was letting it heal up for a week and then buying sorbothane innersoles which stop 94% of the impact when running. also running on softer surfaces, (grass, sand etc) helps take the impact off as well, a combination of all three helped me get over my compartment syndrome within a week and a half, but then again mine wasn't serious enough in the first place to have an op.

You can get sorbothane innersoles from most sports shops, and outdoor camping/hiking stores, and they cost anywhere from £11-17, also run a search for them online and you should find a few places.

Sorbothanes are the db's - even 15 years ago when I was in training most lads had them - but the boots (standard high leg combat) and other footware (pussers issue pumps and trainers) then were pretty crap. The insoles were pricey then (about £18 for the full ish boot ones) but even for a tight arse like me they were indispensible. I can't believe you went to CTC without them fodd

Give them a go, I had a few (I assume)impact related grumbles before I joined as a 26 year old nod, but nothing in training or afterwards. There's a few different sorts but I had boot ones and a thin set for trainers/pumps. The boot ones I had look like the 'double strike' model on this website.........
