So at this point in time the training itself would not be affected.<BR/>But I am really frustrated because a) I am not sure to hold the distance without pain. I do not want to spend 3 days out in Korea to DNF after 10km...<BR/>b) after 5 months training, I had not yet a single opportunity to really test my pace... I have several signals that point to the 3'40" as feasible, but I never made a real test on this<BR/>c) the psycological components on the running form: I am afraid that for fear of pain, I will alter the stride and therefore create other troubles... I will have to be very relaxed once I resume running<BR/><BR/>Overall, maybe physically is not a big issue, but It is really a blow to my mental strenghtby7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02575145053431055482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-2304702945844956712008-10-21T11:49:00.000+08:002008-10-21T11:49:00.000+08:00That's bad luck.

But, trying to see the optimistic side, there is a point in marathon training when a rest is more valuable than an additional workout, and 2 weeks to the marathon is perhaps around that point. <BR/><BR/>There is still time to recover. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the only thing you will miss is the psychological reinforcement of doing a couple of decent tune-up runs during the taper.<BR/><BR/>Hope it works out for you, it must be very frustrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-12496302588950818442008-10-21T10:51:00.000+08:002008-10-21T10:51:00.000+08:00Dovy,thank you for the wishes.Sunday I was running...Dovy,<BR/><BR/>thank you for the wishes.<BR/>Sunday I was running with really good companions and we were pacing well, but I felt more and more pain going from Shatin to TaiPo. My stride was really unnatural and felt awkard... I guess that my face was reflecting the feeling...<BR/>At the U-turn in TaiPo I could not stand the pain anymore and just jog back to Shatin (10km .. endless).<BR/>About stretching, it is always better to do it once you are warmed up. So do it either after 10/15 minutes of easy running or at the end of your easy running session.<BR/>Do not do stretching before races or as part of the warm-up because it is rather useless...<BR/>About your pain, obviously it is not easy and appropriate to make a diagnosis.<BR/>Remember that shin splints is a particular inflammation of the tissues in the front side of the leg, just where the bone meets the calf.<BR/>If not in that position, than it is more likely a tendinitis or some muscle strain.<BR/>I really recommend you to go and see a good physiotherapist with running experience. He/She can give you invaluable suggestion about how to improve your running (maybe you have some leg unbalance or some muscle weakness)by7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02575145053431055482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-69515735603979539982008-10-20T23:34:00.000+08:002008-10-20T23:34:00.000+08:00I saw you running with other runners to the Scienc...I saw you running with other runners to the Science Park's direction this Sunday when I ran back from Tai Po. You seemed a bit serious of your facial expression. Perhaps you were in pain. When you mentioned not enough stretching, you mean post-exercise stretching or a separate session of stretching? I had my pain mostly on my right ankle nearly every time started hitting the road. The muscle tightness usually went away after 5-6 km run and I am now wondering if it is shin splint. <BR/>Wish you prompt recovery and a hopeful heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272705474752015881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871991704267892096.post-13845946601507989652008-10-20T17:51:00.000+08:002008-10-20T17:51:00.000+08:00by7,Can u give your email address?
