    Need Help, I've been training for the Munich and Dublin Marathon for the last 6 months. I've had previous problems in years gone by with my ITB but this year not a problem at all, like brand new....

    However, during the Munich Marathon last Sunday at the 26km mark I felt excruciating pain around the side of my knee and had to walk a lot of the rest.

    Since then when I'm walking I'm fine but a couple of light short runs has the pain building again. I've decided to rest up for the rest of the week b4 Dublin but I'm nervous about d problems cropping back up again.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips to prevent any further injury so that I can fulfill the dream of running a full marathon

    Go see a physio and see what they advise. Might be nothing then again it might be something. Physio will give you best advice.

    We do not give out medical advice. Injuries may have common symptoms but are unique to the individual - just because you were able to keep training with X injury or were out for months because of Y doesn't mean that the same will apply to someone else. Bad advice given here and followed through could aggravate an injury and prevent an athlete making a full recovery in as rapid a time as possible. This restriction is Boards-wide and purposely heavy-handed. So don't feel offended if your thread about a sprained ankle (which you may deem "non-medical") gets locked.
