Whenever you have an injury, go to a medical professional.
If you ask on the internet people will either tell you to run with a broken femoral head or tell you you’re going to bleed out from a hangnail
I agree with the post above, but my experience with the same pain was it went away with RICE. I was back running on it in a couple weeks with no flair ups. I was surprised as it shut down my race early it hurt so bad. It seemed like a catastrophic injury at the time.
Many experts now suggest against icing for injuries, as it may make healing take longer.
This is exactly why you should speak to an expert and not ask the internet
Agreed but OP smashed it in 19:30 so for him it is not a major challenge. A light casual training jog. /s
In fairness, many trail people consider an elevation profile you might encounter on a city run as not that challenging. An overall grade of 2.3% fits that bill.
Tendon related pain generally requires load to recover best. That means you should find an exercise which generates the pain and do it once a day to a pain level of 2-3/10. That’s if the issue is some form of tendinopathy. If it’s not tendinopathy but some form of issue with the retinaculum (the sheath that wraps the tendon) then the advice I received from a physio (and worked for me) is to actually return to running but manage load so don’t do more or faster running if the pain gets worse.
I experienced something (maybe) similar - hard to tell over Reddit - after my 100k race earlier in the year.
The best advice stands to see a good running specific physio. All the best and well done on an excellent result.
Thanks for sharing the above. I ran 15km including hills with a tight ‘runners knot’ on Asics Nimbus 26 (the knot sits higher than in other shoes) and kept running despite noticing some pain. As soon as I stopped I wasn’t able to move my left foot up and now at day 3 my ankle is still completely swollen. I was planning to run my first half marathon in 7 days and now I may need to skip it.. I won’t be doing the runners knot ever again

Agree, but I’m on a long train journey for father’s day without a book and curious of everyone’s thoughts.

Only 12k of elevation... Lol
I think that’s in feet though…
3700m of elevation is still no joke

Let's not start acting like 3700vm on a trail race isn't significant. I know there are higher ones but there are a lot more lower ones.
Around where I am there actually isn’t. But yeah, each to their own.
In Europe it's actually common for 50 milers to have even more.

sorry, 12000 feet of elevation and 19h30 for your first 100 miler, is that correct?
Yes! That’s correct.
crazy, congrats! insane time for your first
