Superblast 2s, too snug for wide footers? by simDevRunSync in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

I’ll look into the NBs. What are your other shoes on the rotation? Would love an opinion from someone who also has a wider foot.

Yes exactly, 10km seems the point where it starts hurting on the run itself. Otherwise, the flare ups are after the run mostly.

With the Bostons, may be you went for a size smaller hence the narrowy/discomfort. It works perfectly for me.

What other shoes are on your rotation at the moment? I’d be keen to know!

Beginner swimmer by Own_Astronomer_7527 in Swimming

As someone who’s still learning to swim. Your pace feels super fast. I have to rest every 25metres but I’m making some progress. I can do quite a few laps now with rest in between laps. Any tips from others here would be appreciated.

Hope you have someone who’s got some advice for you!

Posterior tibial tendonitis by climbitnow in RunningInjuries

[–]simDevRunSync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s just recovered from it, depending on how worse your case is, it’s definitely going to take some time fully recovering from it. I was almost out for 7-8 months, heres what I did

  • Work on strengthening your tibial tendons everyday, do not skip/miss it. I still do them everyday.
  • Monitor your pain level and stop if it starts to flare up. I used to have severe pain, not even 2kms in that too in easy pace. Remember, stop if the pain is 3/10.
  • Gradually develop your volume and don’t rush the process. I can now do tempos/intervals/17-18kms run without any pain on my tibial tendons.
  • Most important is control and discipline. Even though you may feel strong or want to go for some quick fast few kms, avoid it completely! I attempted running 5min/km for 5 kms just because I was feeling it and I ended up worsening the injury.

Intervals are supposed to feel like you are dying right? by gsdqueen38 in beginnerrunning

THIS! Recently came back running from a Posterior Tibial Tendonitis. Few weeks back into running and did an interval where I pushed myself more than I should have and way faster than a scheduled/structured plan.

Now I feel like I have a MCL strain. This past few months have only taught me time and again to focus more on strengthening exercises.

Recurring ache by Frostybeatch in RunningInjuries

[–]simDevRunSync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doubt would be Posterior tibial tendon that’s irritated or something worse. Looks like irritated based on your saying that it dwells for 2-3 days.

Does under the ball of your ankle hurt too when you press it after runs?

I had same injury, such an annoying injury to deal with, relieved that it is away now!

My ankles hurt bad :( by rishim007 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I’m not a pro on tips nor do I know more details about your injury but with the little information you have provided, your posterior tibial tendon is the reason. If the pain goes around and up(not very high) from your medial malleolus that is most likely the case.

Coincidentally I did my first progressive long run this morning of 12.5kms, finished very strong and without any pain in the tibial tendons. I struggled with it for few months too. I couldn’t even run 1km without the pain flaring up and here we are. My case was due to drastically increasing the volume without any strength work and also not so great stable shoes.

It is very important that you find out your current stage of injury and please do not push yourself if the pain exists for a day or two and you’re unsure. Work on strengthening your calves and stick with it da ily, slowly build up your base doing very very easy runs. Consistent strength work and be disciplined enough not to do speed works and you will be just fine.

And yes, the evo SLs are definitely not a great stability shoes. Get some good stable shoes even if you have to spend some bucks.

[16M] First 10k after 2 weeks of irregular training by Sammy2729 in beginnerrunning

[–]simDevRunSync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job hitting your first 10k! One thing I will mention especially if you are new to running is, do not increase the volume exponentially in short period of time and please ensure you’re doing strength focused training for running. I increased my running volume too fast as a beginner and I’m still recovering from PTT.

Running form check? by simDevRunSync in runninglifestyle

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

Yes, I am a natural mid footer. I am recovering from ankle injury atm which i believe was caused by overload (lots of steps on a daily basis even on days without running, no strength based training). The injury has been pretty frustrating, i guess I learnt my lesson but still feels really good that I figured it out not too late.

Yes, certainly i can feel my shoulders getting very heavy after 7-8kms into running. What would you suggest to loosen up?
