Running

Dead lifting will sort your back out. Have been doing this along with the running and it has sorted my back

Not necessarily
Usually single leg exercises are better
And swinging movements to get the hips moving better

Has anyone ever done an ultramarathon? I turn forty in August 2020 and I've a mad notion of doing one to celebrate.

[imtommygunn]

Have you done a marathon yet?? Never done an ultra or had any aspirations to do one!

Are you talking about the 50k or 100k distance? An old mate of mine did an ultra 100k in Scotland, think it's a famous one, he was a runner, ran for years, every day nearly, and built like a runner too. He said it was pain!! And the target is to finish.

There  is a group who run once or twice a month where I live, who start running at 8.30 on a Saturday and some do a marathon and others double up on that! EAS I think they are called, there are runners from all over Ireland running there, I'd imagine they'd be a group to get in touch with

You could just do next year's Belfast "marathon"... it might count as an ultra

Done a few half's. Not a massive fan of road running. Much prefer trail running. Part of the plan is to do the mourns way marathon in the build up

There is one in Tollymore which is 40 miles. I fancy that one if it goes ahead next year as well

There's one at the Causeway Coast as well I think that runs along the sea front

[imtommygunn]

Causeway coast, one in wicklow and connemara would be the bigger ones I have heard of. I know a lot of ones have done Connemara though I think there could be a good bit of road running in it.

Has anyone here experienced Compartement Syndrome? When I try running I have localised pain midway along my right tibia. Initially it was thought to be a stress fracture but an MRI cam back clear. Now Doc is talking Comaprtement. I tried resting for 6 weeks and when I could feel absolutely no pain another 2 weeks. Then it came back as bad as ever after 2 short easy runs. I has messed up the last 5 months. A fracture would have taken less time to heal. Rest is no use. Started innocuous enough. Landed awkwardly on an uneven road surface but was able to continue. Assumed it was just a twinge. got a bit of physio, trained on a bit and actually did a half marathon on it in January but it never settled down.
What to do now?

[imtommygunn]

Ballina man would know better. Compartment syndrome usually quite far down the list of things could be wrong and from what I hear it's what gets diagnosed when they're at a loss with anything else. If it's any help if it is that I think , or heard, the girl who holds the women's 10k and 5k record might have had compartment syndrome and got over it (post surgery) so if it is that there is a way out.

Have you been to a physio as well as a doctor or is it a specialist?

Lots of physio ( needling etc). Physio suspected a stress because calf muscles were fine. X-ray followed by MRI. Doctor yes. Have a consultation in Santry on 10th June. No swelling or bruising. Can hop up and down on leg without pain. No pain walking. Kicks in when I try to run? annoying.
