Hi all, I am attempting my first marathon (I hope) in Dublin in 7 weeks time. I have just had to take a week off running for a bit of calf trouble. I am worried now that it might be two weeks.
I have been training since July and I am 'reasonably' fit apart from that despite carrying a little too much weight.
Would any of you advise going ahead with the run even if I have to take two weeks out? I am hoping this only means missing out on one 'long run' during training and being able to cross train.
Any sage words for a very frustrated first timer?
PS I missed Belfast due to injury last year - a non-running related one too!! My mind is beginning to play tricks. Help:'(
