While still struggling on Monday and Tuesday, I "came good" at last on Wednesday after three months with this injury. I feel I have mostly recovered now, although I will still need to take care not to overdo it in the next few weeks. After no runs within cooee of 6 minute pace, last Wednesday I improved dramatically to 5:40 pace for a hilly 6k run; Thursday to 5:30s for a hilly 8k run, and Sunday 4:40s for a hilly 3.5k run. There is no soreness so I can start doing a bit more now.
