  • My advice is usually the same and that is to ask a real expert to this type of question - I've recommended Manni_o (instagram) on here before and I saw recently that @Scoot has started to work with him. He's London based but people do video consults which would be a good first step.

  • Can confirm that Manni_o is a brilliant physio and it's worth seeing an expert if you have a pain or injury - I went because I kept getting a pain in my ankle/calf every time I tried to up my distance or pace and he's diagnosed so many things that were off with my body (major things!) and given me super targeted exercises to do every day to not just help my ankle get better but to be a much better and efficient runner generally. It's spenny but worth it - especially if you have health cover via work which will pay for it.

    He also limited me to a daily 1 mile run which was annoying but it means I've run consistently for three weeks without aggravating my ankle so now I'm allowed to do 2k every day...it's definitely the best way forward to keep it small and steady.

    Planning to do a marathon next year - ideally London Marathon if I can wangle a spot somehow (missed the ballot entry).

  • I knew Manni pretty well through Run Dem, he's a great guy and very knowledgeable. +1 on the recommendation from me.
