In this Q&A Brodie answers the following questions:
Rachel: Every one of my runs nowadays has hills. Assuming this is a good thing but I’m getting more fatigued, on some runs, and needing more shorter 5km runs in between longer ones.
Katja: Currently marathon training and my left hip hurts. Especially right under the greater trochanter. It started 2-3 weeks ago and wasn’t constant. But now I had to end my last long run early. Now feel it with every step. It hurts getting up from sitting and walking downstairs.
Elliptical seems fine. Chiro thinks it might be IT band. Any idea what it could be and how to modify training? London is in 30 days.
Ryan: What is the most common diagnosis for glute tightness and soreness that lingers for months? Can run on it to a point but then will be sore after.
Sara: What is your return to running plan for those who have taken a 8 week break from running due to PHT and adductor tendinopathy. I have been cross training with swim/bike/walking during time off and been lifting heavy for 4 weeks.
Denny: My lower back (to the right) hurts after running or after just standing for 20 minutes. More like it feels stiff. I don't have a particular question but I guess if you could share some thoughts on lower back pain and running.
