Grix17 Clutched September 28, 2012 Share September 28, 2012 never push urself beyond injury just for the sake of proving a point. there is always another race next yr or few months down the road. Live to fight another day. get ur injuries sorted out with the usual RICE, and then look at strengthening ur muscles coz thats most likely the main cause of injury next to overtraining. When i started out, i used to get all sorts of injuries. Then i realise it all boils down to 1) Form, 2) lack of muscles to support all that movement for prolong periods of time, 3) over training. So i switch to more mid/fore foot striking to minimise impact to knees, working on the muscles department at the gym, and listening to the body when give it breaks and days of rest after a solid effort of excercise. Oh and fueling ur body with nutrients n proteins to repair those muscles n glycogen stores. If u do all these, u will see injury-free days, whether u r big bone, light as a feather, or top heavy. Good luck! Thank you for your advice. Sometimes I need to hear a second opinion from a fellow runner to do what's right. Often I run just to make sure I don't gain extra weight, but instead I have cut down unnecessary carbs on non-running days. Last time I used to fall sick rather often, and I would sometimes run before full recovery and possible get worse. These days, I have been more careful with my health. But somehow when I injured my knee ligaments in a soccer game last year, I started to get a lot more injuries this year, possible with some imbalance of biomechanics as well as age. Also, I have about 1 or 2 non-training days a week. Usually, I have 3 running days and about 2 core/light training days. I don't know if I give myself enough rest or not. The frequency of injuries has made me sit up and notice my weak areas and I'm working on them. Only that this current foot injury is still mysterious and I don't dare push too hard. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic September 28, 2012 Share September 28, 2012 Bro, based on your training...sub 5hr 30mins is no problem. By sunday - long run i take it its 20KM and above right? Yup, will run more than 20km for long run. But I find it hard to maintain consistent training month after month. Some months will run only about once or twice a week. only when about 12 weeks prior to full marathon then increase up to 4 times a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
