Rest or run?

Post by mcl »

My right leg & knee are sore. My knee is always awkward :-/ but the front calf muscle is also sore and has been for a couple of weeks.

It's not serious but should I rest or push on? I have reached 28mins (week 8 I think it is).

Have you been to a good running shop and had a talk to them? It might be this is something in your running gait that suitable shoes or inserts could help with.

Yeah. Was going to look for such a shop. Not sure if there are any in the NE.

And I said 'calf' when I really meant 'thigh'. D'oh etc.
I elected to rest this week. No point in aggravating the injury.
