Pulled out from Marathon, and will run the half instead at White Peaks. Knee too unreliable and course is far too isolated and could mean hobbling for some time before being rescued and returned to car / husband / food.
Physio and podiatrist NOW decide that my right leg is functioning 2-3mm longer than my left and over-pronation a result of right leg needing to move around more. Disappointed it has taken this long for the diagnosis, given I’ve been going there for 5+months but then I did refuse to see the podiatrist all that time ago. Again, cutting corners does not make sense in the long run.
Podiatrist pops a 3mm insole in my left shoe and work shoe to wear all the time, warning knees and hips could be achy. Thus far, no problem in no runs. First LSR with insole: 16miler cut short to a barely managed 8miles around hyde park and hobble back on the bus, no running all week, LSR around Clapham, and manage 2.5miles before pain starts up. Remove the insole and run another 3miles to make 5.5miles. Still achy and no time to ice and rest as moving furniture around to put flat on market. Whilst there is a housing crisis :(
LSR with insole: today concurrent to the FLM for the first time with Anne: A rainy windy 7miles around the 3 S London commons and knee grumbly only at the very end. Did take 2×400mg ibuprophen pre-run and may have helped, aslo swimming core and pilates all week. Have stopped doing single leg bridge and was making hamstring sore (and physio commented it was tight), so just clamshellx75 with resistance band and single leg squat.
Have been sent to get xray on knee and GP to refer to orthopaedic – 11week wait.
ForeFoot Running (POSE technique)
curious about how potentially useful this is, seems to resolve some peoples constant pains in knee and hips. Much smaller shoes (running flats) and needs to start to retrain running gait all over from beginning:
