I’m still hopeful of transitioning to longer runs. Since there’s no pain cycling — or in spin class, as I learned Monday — I’ll try to substitute miles on the bike for longer runs. And with running, the pain tends to ease once I’ve been running for 20 to 25 minutes.

Curious to hear from distance runners who may employ this tactic to see if it works.

I had hoped to see you do an ultra but perhaps you can still make your time goal for the shorter distance. Have personally had to curtail my activities the past year and a half due to symptomatic arthritis. Quite an adjustment and no fun for an family member. Take care.
