Marathon with Osgood Schlatters Syndrome

    So I have Osgood Schlatters Syndrome, left knee. Not a big deal. I'm reminded I have it when I have to kneel, when the distance gets above 10km on a run or when I don't leave it more than a few days between long distance runs. I ran a half on Saturday (1:38). Still pretty sore today (Monday), mostly quads and the outsides of the knees. I'm 33 yo.

    My question is; Is there anyone on here that has completed a full marathon with the condition? If so how did you get on in training and on the day? Any long term effects?

    Thanks.

    Go talk to your doctor.

    My Doctor said to talk to people with the condition that run.
    This is not a medical advice question.
    It's possible to crawl 26 miles but that's not for me.

    I have it and it has no affect on my running whatsoever (have had it since I was about 15) but that is just me and I've never really looked into it too much as it doesn't impact my life. However that is me, as SligoBrewer said, talk to a doctor or better still a sports physio, it may have an impact on you or it maybe something else - you could be running too fast on your training runs, ill fitting runners, weak glutes, too much mileage, You need to get this sorted out before kicking off marathon training.
