I wish I could, but... I still have the ITB band injury. Super long runs aren't the one, so have to train around it. Plus I'm on a big trip travelling the world :) if you sign up and have any questions give me a shout

Hi, had you ran marathons before this ? And how much training did you do beforehand? Thanks.

Hey - the longest training run I did was 22km on a super flat course. The backyard ultra was semi hilly and all off road. I would honestly say it’s 80% mental, 20% physical. 60 mins is a long time to complete 6.5km - good luck 🤝

@@gazwrighttravelthanks so much for replying, that's very reassuring, longest I've ran is 23km but very hilly, around 1300ft of elevation so that puts my mind at rest.

Hey mate, It's great to hear from you. Had a couple months struggling to even walk, but I have just seen a really good physio in Surrey who seems to have sorted me in 1 session. I am just getting back to running so road to recovery. If you are local I can share her details as I would 100% recommend. In short it's usually to much to soon. Increasing your mileage at a super quick rate and your body can't adjust. I have been doing a mixture of things that mainly revolve around increasing leg, glute and core strength and overall flexibility/ stretching. I do this every other day currently and then gym around 4 days per week on top - I also have been trying to swim as well, to maintain some cardio! Hopefully it helps: 1. Foam roll on the outside of your leg, 3 sets of 30 seconds on each side. Do NOT foam roll on the knee/ area of pain. 2. Quad stretch, 3 sets of 30 seconds on each leg. You can do this stood up or lay on your side. 3. Glute muscle endurance. Sit on a chair with an elastic gym band around your knees. Keep your feet still and move your knees apart until you feel a pull in your glutes. 3 sets of 60 seconds. 4. Hip toe tap with gym band around your knees. 3 sets of 10 reps each leg. 5. Horseman squat, 3 sets of 10 reps. 6. Stabilization lunge/ normal lunges - 3 sets of 10 reps on each leg. 7. Banded knee squats 3 sets of 12 reps. Can add add small 2.5kg weights under your feet to increase range of motion (I do this). It usually takes around 50 mins with rest periods etc I was in a position where I was struggling to even walk 200m so I'm pretty sure with the above that should take away the pain. One other thing which I'm sure you looked at is biomechanics. 1. Are you wearing the right shoes - I would deffo go and do a free gait analysis at runners need to check this. 2. Running form - I am an aggressive heel striker, so my next few sessions are going to work on changing that, as it seems to be a big root cause. Hopefully some of that helps. Thanks, Gaz
