Hi there,
I've been training for a few months now ahead of the London Marathon which may or may not go ahead in October. So far I am up to 14 miles max distance. Today I went out for a pretty standard slow and steady 12 miles and I barely got 2 miles in before I had to stop and walk back home! 😫 I noticed every time my right foot struck the ground, I had a shooting pain through my thigh and up to my hip. Although I was not in agony, it certainly caused enough discomfort to stop me carrying on with my run. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I take a few days off to rest? It's difficult to know if this is just an effect of overtraining or the beginning of an injury. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
