Weell, it's more discomfort than actual pain when walking. But just putting shoes on is uncomfortable and I can't go around bare-foot all winter, so if I'm going to be uncomfortable anyway I may as well log it.

Thanks all, to be fair I was kind of hoping for some more irresponsible answers to make me feel better about ignoring the doctor :D But you're all quite right, and I especially don't want to go into marathon training with an injury. It's so frustrating though having worked towards the goal for 50 weeks of the year and then…

Thanks for the replies, I've adjusted my plan slightly based on what you've said so fingers crossed I can do it!

My longest run in the last 2 weeks is just 10k, but I'm confident about doing 15 this week and have been doing speed work etc - this week's 15 will probably be a bit slow but I can cope with that, and then after that I reckon I should be OK to build the miles back up.

Agree with AllanMisner, although I would say that if I never worked out when I was sore then I never would have made any progress - if it's very sore or you're in actual pain then skip it, but if it is just a little bit sore I would probably keep going (although everyone is different, obviously).

Yeah I suppose you're right, the only thing being I haven't run 21k in a few weeks (Christmas etc), so my long runs for the next few weeks I was planning 15k, 18k, 20k, 10k (taper), 21k race, 24, 27, 32k race - but I guess I don't have to taper for the half if I'm using it as part of the training, but then should I taper…

Its a high protein linseed roll from lidl bakery, 27g of protein for around 260 kcals. I usually have it with half an avocado or some houmous.

I've been having a protein shake every day for breakfast and a high protein roll at lunch, regardless of whether I work out. its fine for me but I'm vegan so thats pretty much all of my protein unless I include lentils etc at dinner. The roll I have is 27g protein but the wheat makes me bloated, no good when I'm working on…

Well, I phoned the shop and asked if they would take them back if I went out in them and found they still weren't right, they said as long as they didn't seem worn, which I had no problem with because I got shin splints in the first 2 minutes! So they definitely aren't right for me, but now I have no idea what is,…

Cheshirecat, I'd rather do it quicker but 1) it will be winter and 2) I have similarly jumped into things too soon before and ended up out of action with no toenails! So I've learnt my lesson and will take it slower this time! I've always had blisters with two pairs of Nike's but they were both birthday presents so not…

Thanks :) I've got a 26 week marathon training programme but am planning to do a half at that point and then a full one around 6 months later, do you think that's enough time? I've been running 5K 1-3 times a week for a couple of years and the occasional 10-12K, so am not totally new to running, but of course that's…
