Knee injury - which shoes? How much rest?

    Hi all, hoping you can help.

    I'm building up to training for a marathon at the end of September. I'm running 3-5 miles 3 times per week. I have a some knee pain after I run. Outside left knee. This has particularly happened after longer or faster runs.

    I've been to a physio. He suspects it's my IT band and probably also my abductor (muscle) that's hurting. He thinks the cause is supination. My right foot supinates more than my left. Though it's my left knee that hurts.

    He has suggested, having worked on my leg, I get alternative trainers, and get back out running and said I should be good for the marathon with some massage every so often.

    I'm using Asics gt2000s. Stability shoes.

    I've also visited the reputable running shop I got the shoes from. Their advice was to keep the trainers I have, rest for weeks, and that I'm cutting it very fine for the marathon.

    I don't know what to do! Any advice?
