Ibu and long runs and dehydration is supposedly not good for the kidneys LG - rhabdosomethingorother?.. but I'm not sure whether that's long for mortals, as in 16-20 miles, or for ultra-runners at 50+ ?
Voltarol and paracetamol if you need it maybe?

Yip. Agree with Bint.
Managed to squeeze in a sports massage into lunch break today. Think parkrun tomorrow (weather dependant) and gym afterwards to try out new trainers.

I use Volterol gel if needed - lots of the TCT marathon trainees swear by Rock tape - anyone here use it?

Looking forward to Grizzly but weather forecast is, er, challenging. High or 2 degrees. light snow and wind 
Couple of local major HM's in doubt.
Hopefully we will get to run, but not a good day to be a marshall on Sunday.
Good luck to everyone else running

Voltarol is diclofenac - a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. Ibuprofen is also a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. They're in the same family and act very similarly, with the same risks and side effects.

Yes, it’s quite a risk to take ibuprofen on a long run. Paracetamol would be ok. Ibuprofen afterwards with plenty of food and drink.
Tbh, if you need to take ibuprofen to train because of an injury you probably shouldn’t be running....

I am hoping I don't need anything Meg but was just checking on the ibuprofen. I really don't want to go down the steroid injection route so trying the exercises I saw on YouTube and ice
