I originally thought it was my tendonitis flaring up, but now I'm pretty sure I have a stress fracture in my left foot. I've stopped running and switched to swimming ... how long will it take for this to heal? And what can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Thanks in advance!

Oh this can take until three months to heal......
Yes sorry about that but those darn things take time. Don't hurt yourself any more by taking risks and keep swimming instead of running.
