Hi there,
I am new to this forum and am hoping that someone will be able to shed some light on my "injury".
I have been training for the LA Marathon since September and have had problems with my left knee locking up. It gets so bad that I have to stop running and can only walk. There is no visual swelling, it just feels like someone has put the breaks on my knee and I cannot take one more "running" step. I was told that this could be an ITB problem.
Has anyone out there experienced this problem and if so, what did you do? I am feeling a little discouraged and really do not want to stop running, but when I am doing my long runs and my knee locks up on mile 8 I become very frustrated and just do not know what to do. It does not do it all of the time, only occasionally.
Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated!
Thanks!
