I am doing the Royal parks half marathon next weekend and have raised money for charity so I really have to do it.
Training was going so well. When I did my big runs I felt good. Recovered well and was feeling really confident. A couple of weeks ago I did the biggest run and I think I pushed it too far. I did 19.7km and think I did too much (I had to do 2 hours). I felt OK doing it but later that day and the next day not so good. I did a 90 minute run last weekend and now I am feeling worse and worse. My pelvis feels weak, my knees feel weak and I am worried.
I rested last week and had a sports massage. It was really painful but I hoped it would help. If anything I feel weaker. She told me I have hyper mobile hips.
I have a 45 minute run tomorrow and then a couple of 30 minutes during the week and the half marathon next weekend.
Is there anything I can do between then and now to feel better? I did some runners yoga today which has helped a bit, but I just don't feel strong.
I am so gutted and feel like crying. If the run had been two weeks ago I would have been fine
