How did it happen, and do you have any suggestions for avoiding it? I want to start running, but I'm scared of something like this happening to me. I've never stuck with consistent exercise, and I know that gradually building up is necessary to avoid injury, but I don't know how to gauge if I'm going too far or not, since I expect there to be pain even if I'm doing everything right.
I've never had any sort of injury like this, which means I never learned how to recover or avoid them when doing so would have been easier (when younger).
