I've been training for some time for the MK marathon on 29 April this year. I've done London a couple of years ago but this time I seem to be riddled with injuries. It started off just being my heel which I sorted within a couple of weeks with a heel support and ice.
Then came a really odd pain on my kneecap that doesn't seem to be capable of explanation. It doesn't hurt when I run but after running it swells a bit and there is a dull pain. It's right on the edge of the kneecap on the inside and isn't my iliotibial band.
Then came the worst pain of all - my hip with it's constant clicking. I've now lost the ability to hop on my left leg due to that pain and it affects my whole leg. The physio told me my knees point inwards and one of my feet rolls inwards and this was the cause of my problems. I've got exercises and am seeing the physio again next week but am concerned I may not be able to run the MK marathon.
With only 6 weeks to go, my longest run being 13.2 miles in absolutely freezing, wet, windy conditions and not having run for the last 2 weeks due to my injury...realistically what are my chances of running 26.2 miles in 6 weeks?? I'm also supposed to be doing the Oakley 20 on 1 April but I'm not sure that would be wise at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated!
