Hello! I’m running my first marathon on Sunday (Chicago) and worried about GPS issues that everyone reports from Chicago messing up my watch. I’ve used Nike Run Club for all my long runs for training and did have an issue during my 20 miles where the screen went black for a while. I think (?) it ended up keeping track of most of my distance even while going dark, haha. And I’d prefer to use the app so I can get the map and everything when I’m done in the app…

But I am concerned that it’ll crash, kill my battery, not report the distance right (I don’t really care as long as it ends up being over 26.2 lol).

Anyway, should I just use apple fitness to track the run on Sunday?

Anyone have any issues specially with using Nike during an actual race? Especially one that has so many runners?

I am in week 14/18 of my first marathon training. Everything has been going really well until the last week or so. Week 13 was supposed to be one of my highest-mileage weeks, but I had a pesky posterior tibial tendonitis flare-up (I have previously struggled with this). For those not familiar, basically foot and ankle pain. However, I took some extra rest days and still completed my long run on Saturday, 15.5 miles, with little to no pain.

This upcoming week was supposed to be a recovery week with lower mileage all around. Because of that, I'm thinking about swimming instead of running a few days this week. I am still planning on doing my longer run (10 miles) this weekend. However, I'd just rather not push it now and have to cut my last higher-mileage weeks coming up again because the upcoming weeks seem more important than this recovery week. Anyway, does anybody have experience with compensating with cross-training this late into training? To clarify, I am also being overly cautious with this. I already do PT exercises for this every day, so I don't need advice there! The problem is that the flare-up is in the opposite foot I had PTT previously, haha. Just my luck!

I usually share my run with someone on my Apple Watch, then hit start run, and head out. This has always worked for me, but recently, the map/link isn't working for the person I share it with. It just says, "When the run starts, you'll be able to follow along and see their live location and progress." It basically acts as if I never started a run. I've updated the app on my phone and watch. My app on my phone always shows the map on the completed run when I'm done in the activity log so it can clearly track my location. Any advice?

Hello! I am a 28yr old woman, and I have been running since I was in middle school. I always ran in Mizuno until the last two years. I switched to Asics Gel Nimbus (very cushiony) and then at about 225-250 miles, switched to New Balance 880s due to a slight injury, and wanted to change it up. However, after running in the asics I noticed that a good chunk of the foam was worn away on the shoe. I even wondered if that was how my injury started...big toe pain led to some arch/inner ankle pain. But then I looked at my old shoes and realized they all have the same pattern! I just never noticed before because of the lesser cushion. Has anybody ever seen this before? What am I doing while running? I've never been told I pronate. I was fairly sure I landed pretty netural. I do have really high arches though.

If anything, fun to share, because after 10+ years, I guess you always learn something new! Has anybody seen anything like this on their shoes? Just curious what I am doing, and if I could correct it. Last time I was at a running shoe store the person helping me had no idea. Thanks!
