Left Knee Turning In - Weak Glutes / Abductors
portlanders
✭✭✭
Would appreciate some advice if i may,
To cut a long story short, training for London marathon, had recent left thigh pain, notice on single leg squat, right knee stays straight, left knee turn in.
Have started glute / abductor strengthening exercises, and whilst knee is still turning in, there is no longer any pain.
Ran a slow 10k and no pain, shorts just ride up the left side.
My question is - Is it ok to carry on running whilst i am doing these exercises? Although i've only been doing them 3 days (3 times a day, 30mins each time) i've seen an improvement.
Or is best to just do walking for a week, and see how i got from there?
Marathon is 4 weeks away, would a knee brace help, or not necessary?
Thank you

No, don't wear a knee support. If your physio didn't tell you to wear one then avoid them. They can actually end up making things a lot worse.
