I am managing to zone them out and complete the run but today's run it started about 4k into the run!

It is only 2 weeks to the event and am getting concerned it is going to get worse and affect me doing the charity event.

So anyone any ideas what may cause it or ways to ease it??

Cheers all

I run 5 miles 5 days a week and 10 miles 2 days a week, have done for years

Your first error was to zone out the pain, zoning out the pain for Rocky films and for the last mile of a 26mile marathon that you have trained a year for and can have 3 months off afterwards

Pain is your body telling you their is something wrong, you certainly shouldn't ignore it. It almost certainly isn't going away and will probably get worse.

Hit me up on b&b if you want some help, my Mrs is also a qualified sports injury therapist who could give you a clue on whats going on.
