I'm bowing out of the Brighton marathon - Inflamation around the piriformis and gluteus medius and pain referred down my leg are making running no fun any more.
If I'm to rest up enough for it to go away, I won't be getting the miles in. If I continue to put the miles & speed in, I won't be able to run anyway.
I'm going to say fuck it, and aim for a 19:30 5k instead.
I'm currently at 22:30 for the distance.
Running 36 seconds faster per kilometre by June / July is totally doable, right?
It must be doable, and depending on how efficient you are it might be worth trying to teach yourself how to run basically from scratch and then start building from 400m intervals up to 800s, 1.5km and by the time you can do5 1.5km intervals you should be able to cruise it!
