Sore Leg. 1/2 Marathon Soon.

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if any of ye could save me the bother, time and money of going to a doctor and diagnose my injury ( I really don't have the time).

    I went for a 10k run a couple of weeks back. After the run, my leg felt a bit sore. I gave it a week's rest and the injury improved slightly. I then went for an organised 10K (I had been training for this) 7 days later. I didn't feel my leg during the race but again, I did afterwards. My leg was sorer than before. I left it another week before I ran 16k. Now my leg is still sore and I have a very slight limp.

    I did not fall or feel like I injured myself during the original 10K but felt sore afterwards so I'm not sure how I got injured.

    The injury is on the outside of my right leg (see below), just above my ankle (my ankle isn't sore). It doesn't seem to be visibly swollen. I can feel a slight swollen when I compare it to my left leg.

    I plan on running a half-marathon in 3 weeks. Has anyone else got a similar injury? If so, did it take long to heal? Will rest do it?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    "I have a very slight limp"

    hmmmmm - I think it's time to go to a physio and get that sorted.

    see the charter

    We do not give out medical advice. Injuries may have common symptoms but are unique to the individual - just because you were able to keep training with X injury or were out for months because of Y doesn't mean that the same will apply to someone else. Bad advice given here and followed through could aggravate an injury and prevent an athlete making a full recovery in as rapid a time as possible.
