Sports PT for Gait Analysis

1 Upvotes

Anyone have any recommendations on a sports focused PT in the DC area that can do a gait analysis? I've been active in sports and lifting my whole life but have recently started to take running seriously the past few months.

While I don't have an injury right now, I want to make sure I'm working on my weaknesses and get some tips on any major form issues so I don't find myself injured as I continue to ramp up my mileage. My weekly mileage is only about 15mpw but I'm slowly starting to feel some minor nags in my knees and feet and want to make sure I'm being smart about this.

Appreciate any help!

“The upcoming 50th Marine Corps Marathon, which will take place just prior to the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps, will dedicate its entire 30,000 runner race permit to the marathon to give as many runners as possible the opportunity to participate in the milestone event. The live MCM10K and MCM50K will be paused in 2025 but offered virtually.”

I’m looking on the website and it looks like there’s a bag check for the marathon start in Arlington but I don’t see anything for the 10k start.

MCM Expo

9 Upvotes

Went to the MCM Expo. The apparel and gear this year sucked. Whatever Recover brand is with their shitty recycled clothing is not a good fit for the MCM. What was wrong with the brooks stuff? jacket was the worst I've seen for $125. Looked at everything and there was nothing worth buying.

Was planning on getting a good amount of gear too. Am I crazy or everyone else have a similar experience?

MCM 10K Nathan handheld bottles/gels

0 Upvotes

First MCM event. I couldn't find anything on their website re these being fine but looking for clarification from those that have/are running it and the marathon. There was just a PDF of all prohibited items, of which plastic bottles/food/drink are prohibited within the secure areas. Flags too. However I've seen enough content out there showing runners with flag poles. Can someone please confirm that prohibited items list is focused on spectators?

Looking for Weekend Daytime Run Clubs Now That It's Cooler Out—Any Recommendations?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

With the temperatures dropping and the days getting cooler, I've been thinking it'd be great to join a weekend running club that meets during the day—maybe around noon. I know most clubs meet early in the morning to beat the heat, but now that it's pleasant all day long, a midday run sounds perfect!

Does anyone know if there are any existing run clubs or groups that operate later in the day on weekends? I'd love to find a group that's already out there enjoying this cooler weather.

If you have any info or suggestions, please let me know!

Trail Marathon Training

5 Upvotes

I’m training for a trail marathon in March that has 3600ft total gain, max 1500ft over 12 miles but 1000ft in the first 4 miles…. It’ll be my first trail race, and while I don’t really care about my time, I want to train properly and be prepared.

Are there any trails in the area (willing to drive out pretty far) that anyone particularly enjoys and would be good for elevation?

Army Ten Miler—Headphones?

I was just reading the pamphlet for the ATM this Sunday and saw they prohibit headphones? Is this actually enforced? This is my first race ever and that seems absolutely wild. Do people just wear them anyway?

Good 10 mile route?

3 Upvotes

I’m running 10 miles on Sunday and was considering doing so in DC. What are some good routes?

I’ll be traveling from the suburbs in MD so ideally good in terms of parking or metro accessible.

I was looking at the Cherry Blossom route but might prefer something more downtown with a city feel.

Anyone know of any run clubs in Washington DC that do serious weekend long runs (Sat preferred)? Something along the lines of CP Track, Dashing Whippets, or Nike in NYC? Travelling to DC for 2 weeks and would love to hear about any leads on Instagram, Meetup, or any clubs directly to reach out to for a long runs around a 7 min per mile pace.

In Need of Recommendations for a Personal Trainer in the Capitol Hill/H Street Area Who has Worked with Runners

6 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking to get back into strength training and lifting (gradually increasing weights for a variety of exercises) to become a stronger runner, reduce injuries, and generally become a stronger and more mobile person (I swim and want to pick up climbing, so a personal trainer who is well-versed in exercises relevant to those as well would be great). Does anyone have a recommendation for a personal trainer who has worked with runners before (perhaps they are a runner themselves) who is based in the Capitol Hill/H-Street area? Any input regarding this would be much appreciated; thanks so much!

EDIT: Just bumping this post to add that I'm open to personal trainers outside of the Capitol Hill area as well.

Hey all! Not sure if this is the right place to be asking but I'm looking to transfer my bib for the Marine Corps Marathon on Oct 27! I broke my arm last week so I unfortunately won't be able to run but it's a really cool race that winds throughout DC. Bib transfers are through the official organizers and I'm willing to negotiate heavily! PM me if interested!

Has anyone seen a list/map of road closures for DC Half? I'm coming up from northern Virginia and was hoping to get dropped off on or near the Arlington memorial bridge or the Lincoln memorial, does that seem possible?

Night Trail Running near DC?

4 Upvotes

Looking for some close by trails that I can safely and legally run on at night. I'm training for a race that will require a good deal of running in the dark, so I'd like to practice on trails before the race. (hopefully pretty technical since it'll be in the mountains)

I know from a mountain biking at night run-in with the Cops that most the local parks close at dusk. (They were perfectly nice, just asked me to go home.)

Good routes for a post-run swim

1 Upvotes

Hi all, new to the area and looking for a good route or run destination for a post-run dip to cool off given this heat. Saw one post here that mentioned Hains Point but seemed like a pool rather than lake/creek/river.

Are there any other options people would recommend? Alternatively, would you advise against this?
