Take care Paul..the issue with hamstring injury is, it impacts calf muscles also..best to really let it heal?

You got that 20-miler in ever so early for April. You could easily afford to take a couple of weeks off running - bike or swim to keep fit in the meantime, and do some gentle leg strength work.

You won't be able to run the marathon if you're injured! xxx

I know you're right but just need to be ready but maybe another week of

[SlowLoris in reply to paul1960]

No maybe about it Paul. Overtraining causes injury. Recovery periods are an essential part of any training plan.

I agree totally with roseabi ...xxx
