Hi there,

 I am running the Brighton Marathon in three weeks, my first for 15 years.  Training was going well until I went out for a run on Feb 27th when I had pains in my inner thigh.  I assume this is a groin strain, so I stopped training for a week.  I then did the Eastbourne Half on March 6th without too much difficulty but the pain in my thigh returned the day after.

 So I rested again and waited until the pain subsided before doing a 20 mile run at the weekend.  Now the pain has come back again and this time does not seem to be subsiding too quickly.

 I guess I am returning to running too quickly?  In which case what should be my strategy to ensure I am recovered for Brighton April 10th? 

 Thanks, Rob
