Lower back pain
After a long run, I experienced severe pain just below my lower back towards my buttock?
Burning feet
I am experiencing intense hot and burning sensation under the soles of my feet from 7km onwards. Any advice apart from buying new shoes?
My knees hurt!
The inner sides of my knees from the middle of the knee down to the bottom are very painful when I walk or run. It feels like someone is sticking a knife into them. - Dean Nolan
Marathon training
Distance-based or time-based training? And can I use the Bonitas programme for training for a marathon? - Caren Jooste
Energy Gels vs. Jelly Babies
Q: I burp on energy gels, feel nauseous and get stitches. How many jelly babies are recommended to match one squeezy per hour instead?
Injury Hampered Training
Q: I haven’t run since Oceans due to an injury, except for short 8-9 km. Is it still ok to go for Comrades with about 1150km training since December.
