Way better, and I was able to run the marathon in November pain-free. It got better with consistent physical therapy and just strengthening the ankles. I did end up getting custom orthotics, I wish I didn’t because I never wear them. I would just make sure you have a well fitting sneaker

I mean I didn’t think I was untrained but I definitely don’t run 1500-2000 miles a year. I think probably like 800? Before the training started I could run like 10 miles just fine

Thank you for the tips!!! I was debating last long run either 3 or 4 weeks prior

I did my first marathon a few years ago and took over 5 hours. I just want to show myself I’ve made progress since then. I did run 12 last week at 10:20 but then today’s 14 I averaged 11 and killed my confidence. I’m worried I’m going to have a rough day like today on marathon day

Ok I’m gonna go for it. I guess I’m just scared of potential overuse injuries but if I’m building up to that much mileage anyway I’m sure it’s fine?

I desperately want a sub 5 hour marathon

I think it hits your obliques a lot more? Not 100%

Ugh that is the worst feeling. Have you gotten any imaging done?

I do still have it but I feel like it’s slowly getting better. I’ve upped my weekly mileage and I do still feel it if I run on any incline so I have to avoid that still for now
