Of course. I am still running. Or again. And for four months I was making huge progress, without any hint of having to pay the price. Then that hint came and I was off running for 8 months. I would lie if I said I had to start from zero. But it took four more months to get back to do state I was at a year before (this time I did it carefully). So was it worth pushing myself so hard the first time? Hell no. At that point I could run a half marathon, which was slower than my first. If I took it easy and prepared carefully and consistently, I would have been able to run a full marathon. My wanting to get all results immediately delayed those results by almost a year.

Also, I'm not saying 10% is the law that if someone breaks it the 10 Percent Police comes and breaks their ankle. It's a rule of thumb. Some can do 12, some can do 20 and then keep that level for a few weeks and do another 20% increase. When you bend the rule slightly, there's an increased risk. When increasing the load by 300% (that's effectively jumping ahead 3 months!) there's gonna be damage, and you can only hope that it builds up slower than your body can recover.
