I am in the midst of training for next years London Marathon so I'm looking for as much advise as possible. While my main training plan starts in November I am currently running 12k twice aweek and pushing 15k on a Friday. My main problem apart from my age is acid reflux or that's what I have been told it is by various docs.
If I describe then maybe some one can advise what they think it might be and how best I can find relief, any help will be very gratefully received. As soon as I start running I have the feeling of trapped air in the centre of my chest,p its a constant pain, I continually burp and if I can get enough air up the pain goes and I run really well. If I can't the pain stays and my running seems to be affected. If I start too quickly and don't get the air up first I really struggle for the duration of the run.
If can somehow sort this out the whole training thing will be much easier as its not much fun knowing you will struggle from the first step to the last.
I have had a lot of tests, including an endoscope, scan, and many variants of anti reflux medication but nothing seems to work. I am type 2 diabetic currently taking Pioglitazone 15mg/ Meformin 850mg twice a day, Gliclazide 80mg, 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening , 15mg of Lansoprazole once a day, Ramipril 2.5g, once a day, Atorvastatin 20mg once a day
