A few years ago I sprained my ankle badly in the run up to the London marathon. I bought an air splint and went running in the pool. It was hard work but it worked.
Having entered the Gloucester marathon which has just been cancelled I was a bit desperate to find another so all my long runs weren't wasted. So have just entered Seville in 5 weeks time. Is anyone else going? Tricia
I have run several marathons on between 2-3 runs a week. My first was London at 4.14. Haven't done one for a couple of years so at the age of 55 I am going for another Gloucester where I am aiming at sub 4hrs, training has gone well again with only 2-3 runs a week. My PB for 10k is 49min, and 1hr49 for a half, both recently run, so feel on target.. So good luck.
