    ELIJAH this is so inspirationaly guy. I am also dealing with a small discomfort in the left outside part of my knee. after running the surf city half marathon a couple days ago I felt good and positive to keep training for the next race but the pain unfortunately came. I managed to get around 1:30 half which im so proud but know it makes me so sad not being able to run without that pain there. currently working on strengthening the body better to prevent these things. Videos like yours is what keeps me going. much love.

    Congratulations on your PB! I am glad you are ok. I missed watching your videos. You are a very gifted runner. It is amazing how well you run. I can relate to your struggle. I ran the Houston Marathon on January 14th. Four days later, I went for an easy run and noticed pain in my right knee. It turns out that my patellar tendon was inflamed. I stopped running for a month to allow my body to heal. I really missed running. I learned that I needed to do strength training, more stretching, and biking to help strengthen my body. I was only doing running and some stretching before. I am now running again and slowly building up my mileage. I pray that you have a full healing. Take care.

    I am no doctor but I have had similar pains and numbness on my right side (hip, knee, calve). Was driving me crazy in marathon prep.
    Maybe you’re already getting treatment but with me it came from my lower back (a disk). Just wanted to let you know cause by then I thought: could somebody told me this before.

    @benjamin.kelley Před 3 měsíci

    I was on pace to run a 10 minute PR last fall, but got injured 6 weeks out and had to take a full week off. At that point I was pretty much done training like your situation. But on race day I went out and got through 19 miles (this course is 1200ft of vert), and was done. I don't think you should have the mindset of going out at PR pace, and if you don't feel it or miss the mark, you drop out - because the jobs not finished. You either run the race or you don't. Of course if you physically can't, then DNF, but in my first marathon I (stress) fractured my middle metatarsal in my foot around mile 24-25, but knew the job wasn't done.

I ran the half last weekend but there’s also a full. So many people PR’d and I bet that you could run that course easily sub 2:30! Hope you get some time to heal your leg!

    I will not take anything from you. Your workload, training focus etc. for the marathon. But personally I will not count it as my PR when I make my own "setup" and make a guy jump into the race and pace for me. A race unfold in its own natural way like it or not..

    • @tyler8335
