Hey Andrew I'll be running this marathon in a few weeks. How as the gravel part? Was there aid throughout the entire course? Great job!

Seizure alert!

restoring…

Thanks for the video. I was not aware of that first exercise (I think you said for anterior tibialis). It seems like a really good exercise. I have been dealing with runners knee for a few months. It’s getting much better after taking some time off of running to strengthen my legs and do exercises such as squats, etc. At times when my runners knee was worse I would get achiness running up or down the front of my leg especially when I was sitting still for a while or laying down. It seems like that first exercise might help to build strength and counter this achiness. Also, based on reading some of your other comments under this video, I’m sorry for the things you had to go through about a year ago. Hope you’re doing well now.

I have the same treadmill as your nordick trac I do speed 3 and do incline at different levels my right knee always feels uncomfortable in the back and front of it it’s something that just isn’t going away but I took the brace off and it seems to have strengthened because I didn’t get reinjured that kept happenings I would re injure it over and over, been over a week no brace the knee still doesn’t feel right but the intense pain is gone but the dull pain is not. Idk what I’m doing wrong causing this to happen my left knee is 100%

I'm planning on doing my first HM there this year! Did you get finisher photos? I'm still debating if I should get them.

Thanks for the great video, look forward to trying these out

Your the first time someone has described my pain. I have a 40 week wait to get an appointment at my hospital but I have been suffering since August of last year. I'm no doctor but the pain you described for the Baxters Entrapment and the location are spot on. My only issue now is that squiggly lump has started to appear and becomes more noticeable as the day goes on and is white in colour. Any idea what it is? All I can say it's so painful to walk no matter what time of the day. I'm getting spasms now which are that painful, that they make me cry.

It's definitely a combination of shoe and running technique , im 5"10 and 13"6 so a bit of a lump but i run as smoothly as i can , always run over 200 miles a month. I have many pairs at 500+ and one pair of noveblast v1's with over 1250 miles on them ( GPS no guesswork) . Poor running form can eat through shoes but landing well means even a big person can get great mileage. Ignore the 500 maximum crap , its just a sales thing . Its worth noting that ALL my shoes go through the washing machine with the insoles pulled out and thrown in too , 40c max and plenty of powder, they come out looking and feeling fresh 😁🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Thank you so much Doctor Andrew! This foot has been driving me crazy for about 6 weeks and the band exercise at 7:15 immediately (I mean instantly) eliminated the pain! I thought it was plantar fasciitis, but your symptom description related to be Baxter's entrapment. Initially, my pain would come and go, even while running. Sometimes I would step out of bed and it was fine, but not always. The pain had become chronic though, over the last week. I had gone through 4 sessions of EPAT Therapy and I did not have any change, but now I know why. I understand that the symptoms may reappear, but I will continue to strengthen my foot in this manner and hope the muscles and nerve return to normal permanently.

Glad to see you out there running and posting videos, Andrew!

This race has been on my radar for a while! It looks beautiful!! 🤓

Gaahhhhh!!! So happy to see you post again! Was literally wondering how you were doing the other day! 🤓

Wow..Informative review 👌🏻 Hello from india I am getting Nike react Infinity 3 and Nike Pegasus 40 in same price over online sale. I do long walk amd small run with some gym workout. Which one you would suggest to purchase. Your early reply will surely help

Help..! What if it's not pain when stepping... I have a weird sensation. when I have my knees bent, I can twirl and dorsiflex my feet however I like. but when I stretch my leg out and I try to flex my foot up, it feels like something under the base of the heel is "pulling".. feels like if I flex it more, it might rip. It feels like the bottom of baxter's nerve, but it's not in pain and it's only upon stretching.

What did you do for nutrition during the race? Since you only had such a short period of time.

I have for 4 days so instant and painful....started at inner ankle then moved to under the heel.....no idea what caused it

You must funtional train your right scapula

Curious, are you still wearing them? Would like to know your thoughts after a year of owning them. Good for standing/walking daily in an office/retail atmosphere? Any pain points you encountered over time? Thanks for the solid initial review!

Nice video - I'm a big fan of backyard ultras. It's a fun format that everyone can enjoy.

I am registered for thé 2023 New York marathon virtual powered by Strava. My question is can I run the 26.2 miles in 4 times ? If so, will I still get a finisher medal? Thank you

I do double run days because I run for fun and it keeps me unstressed while I’m a full time student. I feel like I need a break but my mind can’t stop thinking about what I have to do, so I’ll go for a run! Clears my mind and gets me back on track. I’ve never done two long runs though, it’ll be either two short or 1 long and one short, depending on how I feel!

If Running on treadmill only it can last 3000 miles …. Outsole would not scratch a bit but midsole foam might be flat a bit.

Every 4 hours you take a gel?

Thank you for the video, really useful 😊

is it really breakin in after that amount of miles and getting to feel comfortable even though you get chafes and blisters? (around 30 miles run in it yet)

One mile at a time. Short and sweet video!

Having just run my first ultra, I can appreciate how special these races can be! Great job crewing and sharing Andrew! I hope you are well!

I just recently purchased the Boston 11 Marathons and I absolutely love them. I have just a single personal flaw with them and that is the back of the collar on the right side of the achilles rubs just enough to be irritating without socks. Socks on, problem solved, He's also right about the method in which you have to put them on also. Not a lot of entry room. Once they're on though, they fit like a glove and I get a very secure lock-down. They're also very comfortable even though they provide just a little bit of a firm ride. With the sculptured front they have a bit of a rocker effect and the internally fused rods provide a good amount of spring once you get moving. I know they just came out with the Boston 12's, but I'm going to run these into the ground first.

Awesome, Andrew! Now there's some motivation to put in the miles over the next year. I really enjoyed the images and words and I can't wait to see how it goes for you.

Are you going to give a try next year

So many very stable neutral high cushioning shoes that overpronation runner like myself can use : Adidas SolarBoost 5, SolarGlide 6 , NB 1080v12, More V4 , all Hokas shoes , Mizuno Wave Sky etc etc. But unfortunately ,I had overpronation problems with my left heel when I use my Gel-Nimbus 25. I can't use it for anything faster then a very slow pace .... unfortunately, the wide base of the shoes is not enough to do at least a minor assist to evade excessive overpronation. No guardrails or anything ... just the wide base and a snug upper can't do much when running in high heel (41mm/33) . Anyways I liked my Gel-Nimbus 25 , it is one of the most comfortable shoes ever but I still preffer the previous version as the best Nimbus ever and one of the best versatile cushioning shoes ever created : Gel-Nimbus 24 ! Super stable this one, by the way.

Asics is a very good brand, the rocker, the foam, the fit usually are pretty good. I haven't tried the new Nimbus but I ran in the past with previous versions and it was great especially for long runs. Thanks for the review!

Great review! I’ve put in about 400 miles on mine, so I may have to retire them soon! 🤓

Your pre-hab and re-hab exercises are so appreciated Andrew! Quality advice and demonstrations! Keep pushing my friend!

I can just listen to this on a loop...I love it

Great lesson, Andrew, and great workout too! I like to do this too. It's actually a relief when I've got about a half an hour left and I know that I can pick up the pace a little and not worry about getting to the finish. The longer range of motion seems to involve some fresh muscle fibers and it can feel easier than "easy" pace. And I agree that it's great training for keeping effort low at the faster tempo. When I've already built up some fatigue, staying relaxed and economical is what I naturally want to do. I'd like to improve my "ultramarathon" endurance too though, doing more of them as true long slow distance. The fact that it's a challenge for me makes me think that I've got some room to get better in that area. Thanks for the excellent video and all the best!

Very useful! Also, did I see your dog making a cameo appearance?

Great stuff, Andrew! I hope your training is still going well.

Fantastic review. Do you mind if I ask what your typical foot strike is (heel or mid foot or forefoot)? I ask because I'm typically a mid to forefoot striker and have run mostly in Altra but have been unhappy with their quality as of late. I had a run in the Brooks Glycerin 20 and loved it except it did feel weird having more foam in the heel where I don't even land. Would love your thoughts as a DPT on the viability of running in Brooks with their typical high drop if you're a midfoot/forefoot striker. TIA!

Great run, Andrew! That sounds like a really cool event. I didn't know about it but it happens that my afternoon run, a tempo-y 10k, was just a bit slower, 57:06 according to GPS. We're getting a break from the heat we had last week and it actually felt like spring outside today which I enjoyed. I don't have a really big goal for the year, but something I'm focused on is getting better at the long long runs. I'd like to dial in my routine and maybe get to where two hours or more is fairly normal, where it doesn't feel like as big an effort as a race. I'm probably more excited about trail races than road marathons at the moment, but I see lots of room to improve the extended easy runs and I'd like to work on that first. Kudos on the virtual race, and all the best!

Nice one, tnks for the info! I saw at least one negative review from someone who dislikes the firm midsole. Any idea how it compares to the midsoles of the Hoka Mach 5? The mach 5 has kinda become my main all-purpose daily trainer and in a way my reference point when shopping for fresh shoes. The Hyperion Max should be more durable than the Hoka's, and they're even lighter. But they're pricey, and I'm not sure if the midsole will be too firm/stiff for me :/

Thanks for the first look, Andrew! Brooks shoes don't seem to get as much coverage as other brands but they sound great and the weight is very reasonable for a "max"-type shoe. I'm looking forward to the full review when you've spent more time with them.

Strength training is a requirement for all my athletes. It promotes good form, prevents inury and allows you to be consistent in training over time.... And that's how we all improve. Great talk Andrew!

Great stuff, Andrew! Thanks as always for the knowledge. I hope your running is going really well.

What’s the size of that ball?

Deeper meaning here than is apparent at first glance! Don't be scared of new adventures in life my friend! Stay strong! Be well!

It's a great shoe but I don't think it's a daily trainer. It's more for long-ez days and Recovery run

Great thoughts, Andrew! I love late afternoon and early evening runs where the temperature is dropping and the sun is getting lower as I'm heating up, and I know that my day is mostly over so I can go hard. Rock on!

Thanks for the first look at this one, Andrew. There was a time when I wore Asics a lot. I hope you're happy with it in the long term.
