1/2 marathon plan and Mueller braces - ?

[Guest guest]

Hi -

In June I'm hoping to walk / 'scamper' a 1/2 marathon. I'm putting together

a training plan that has more to do with cardiovascular training than it

does walking or running (probably more pool training, some recumbent bike

and walking). I know I can't go into it with fatigued ankles if I hope to

finish it. In general I have very strong upper legs so I have that going for

me. During much of my life I hiked / walked many miles at a time. I have to

travel at a little more than 4 miles per hour which I can certainly do, but

doing it for 13 miles will be the challenge. Yes, I realize I will pay for

it later.

I have AFOs, but lately they are more than my lower legs need. , I

think you said you have Mueller braces. Those look perfect for supporting my

ankles without weighing me down. I'm worried about sprains, and they sure

won't let those happen. I found a place where I can order them. , if

those are what you have, do you know what size they are, and do you know

what your ankle measurement is? I hope my mind didn't make this all up in

thinking you are the one who has these.

If anyone else has done an event of this type, let me know how you prepared.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Danita
