Hi guys.
I'm registered for my first marathon in September and I'm into week 10 of a 32 week marathon training schedule (4mi/3mi/3mi/9mi) with my long runs increasing about a 2 miles every 3 weeks.
A combination of running too fast recently and some foolhardy speedwork down steps has landed me with the classic symptoms of Peroneal Tendonitis (my physio will likely confirm this today).
Mentally, this is a real blow - I'm obviously going to have to take some time off but I'm really worried about the catch-up.
Any experiences/advice?
