So I'm training for a marathon, the last long run I did was my first time at 13 miles, it was last weekend. Since then my calves never really recovered and all week when i tried to run my right shin would get so tight I couldn't support my weight. It's been 3 days since my last run, I'm also getting a cold 
, how long should i take off? Will i effect me badly? Im also worried about gaining weight...since Thanksgiving is this week too. help?

Its just like weight lifting if you go to hard to fast damage will be done. Buddy of mine did a marathon with out any conditioning running. he was pretty healthy and in shape before the run but he was pretty much on bed rest for 3 weeks after becasue his shin spints were so bad. So id say just take it easy let it build up so you dont hurt your self.0
