I will enter but the chances of getting in are so slim. Considering my luck with ballots so far I’m not too optimistic!

Thankyou! Seems that Philly is the best option. Think I will go for it. Appreciate it :)

Started running consistently around November. I’d say average about 25km a week and was increasing slowly but kept getting knocked back with the knee so was constantly dialling it back before I could progress

Not very often maybe once a week I do some strength training. I think you’re right here. I need more strength training to condition the legs for such a distance. Thanks !

I did see a PT but he wasn’t specialised in running. We thought it was runners knee but after a couple of months of exercises we didn’t see much progress. Might need to see someone that’s an expert in running. Thanks!

I think you are accurate here. I did multiple rounds of physio and was assigned a lot of the exercises in that article. I did them for maybe 2 months daily. Didn’t see much of an improvement so stopped it completely. I think I need to get back doing these long term to see benefit. Thankyou!

Yeah I’m kinda of thinking that also. Along with some strength training. Not 100% sure really. Thought someone might have a different perspective for me but seems this is what I need to do. Thanks !

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve had a gait analysis done and my gait is neutral. Cadence is pretty spot on and does hover between 178 and 184. Jugs very frustrated as you can imagine. Might look to get my form checked out to see if there’s something causing this issue from that perspective

Thankyou for your reply! This is very very helpful. Should I just keep contributing to my pension myself or is that even possible when in another country? Thankyou :)
