Hi, I am Shawn, age 57. I was born with Spondylolythesis, it is currently grade2-L5, so my training has been off and on. At age 45 I did my first Olympic triathlon and a few sprints, and then I had knee surgery. I did a sprint in 2011 and 2012 and then my back started acting up. Now I feel fine and I am back at it. My goal is to complete an Olympic distance this year. I would love to go further but I just need to protect myself. Building up the running is what wears my body out.

Yesterday I was a little sore, and today, whenever I bend over to pick something up, standing up again hurts badly. Have I done some sort of permanent damage? What can I do to rehab this area?
Member Question: Upper Body Strength for Swimming.

My right foot is killing me (flat feet, wearing orthotics). I can no longer run on it and am forced to walk. After walking 10k, my foot felt like it was squeezed really hard.
