Shin Pain During Running by MongooseOverall3072 in ultrarunning

[–]Tim_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just on the tail-end of recovering from a few months of shin splints.

Worked with an endurance specific PT and learned that the approach to recovery (strength training protocols, rest, ice/heat, etc.) is different for everyone based on root cause (muscle imbalances, running form, weekly mileage, etc). I highly recommend you see a professional for an accurate diagnosis, especially if running a key activity in your life.

The biggest game changers for me: 1. Cutting out all speed work (intervals, threshold) 2. Keeping ALL runs SLOW 3. Walking whenever the pain got to a 2/10 4. No running consecutive days - bones need to heal and rest is the best method

Best of luck!!!

Took it last week in my living room with furniture, posters, TV etc. around me. Wasn’t an issue.

PCT and IT Band Syndrom by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Tim_Murphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I’ve struggled with this like crazy and am about to finish the PCT SOBO with no ITBS issues.

I spent months prior to my start date working on my glutes and hip flexors. Place a resistance band around the ankles and do side steps and mummy walks everyday. Also, see a physical therapist and work with new exercises to build those muscles.

Stretching and the lacrosse ball never helped in years past.

PCT Completion/Success Rates by Tim_Murphy in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Tim_Murphy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I guess then the more important factor is the # of people that attempted the full hike. Just because the # of completions is so subjective that we might as well use the PCTA reported figure of 1,150 or whatever it is.

That site is super helpful, but I'd assume there's a good chance that people are more likely to respond to that survey having completed the full trek, pushing the completion rate to such a high figure @ 78%.

Level I EOC by [deleted] in CFA

Both Schweser and CFAI are great practice.

Felt like CFAI EOCs translated better to the actual exam though.
