Default Running a marathon with an ADR?

Hi all,

I've just joined the forum (my story is in the welcome section), and I have a question....

Has anyone ever returned to regular long-distance running after ADR?

I used to be a semi-professional sportsman, and I ran the London Marathon last year. My back has really degenerated since then and my specialist (Mr Shackleford) has suggested ADR. However, I am currently struggling to decide whether I should just live with the pain and reduced funciton, or have the surgery and set myself the goal of another marathon. Is this realistic, or am I being insane?

Has anyone here done this, or have experience of someone that has?

Many thanks,
Gary
