I'm currently training for my first marathon next month. I'm actually on holiday at the moment but have been sticking to my training.
Last week I slipped on a wet rock in a river and slid down the edge of it. At the time it hurt momentarily. The following day I ran for around 2 hrs. Towards the end of the run I felt a warm, dull pain just behind the ball of my foot behind my big toe. It's along the side of the foot rather than underneath so I suspect it's bruising to the abductor hallucis muscle rather than anything else.
I was wondering whether there was any advice for speeding up the healing of this as race day is rapidly approaching. Is it just a case of RICE?
