'Something' to my right leg
It buckled at about 14 miles in to a 20 mile race on April 2nd...my last long run before FLM. But there was no pain so I kept running and even went on to get a PB.
However when I stopped running I could hardly put any weight on it.
I went to see my sports masseur, he couldn't find a problem so I rested for over two weeks hoping it would heal in time for FLM.... it didn't, and I ended up deferring.
I've also had to withdraw from two half marathons since and the Copenhagen marathon, which is this weekend. On top of that I won't be able to run Dartmoor Discovery either, which is one of the highlights of my racing year
I've been seeing a physio as I said, who has ironed out a few problems but hasn't been able to get to the core problem. Spoke to him today and he has just referred me on to someone else.... who is also rather more expensive!
I'm going to see this guy on Wednesday... so I'll let you know if they decide amputation is the answer
