It's a lesson I had to learn the hard way - I pushed through pain for a few weeks and ended up with an injury that took me out of action for over 6 months.<br /><br />Hope you feel back to normal soon!Christine @ Grub, Sweat and Cheershttp://www.hoenisch.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-78316192001091752062010-04-15T07:47:17.923-07:002010-04-15T07:47:17.923-07:00I think resting your legs is a great idea.

You definitely did the right thing by taking it easy. <br /><br />Right now I feel like I need a serious mental break, I am at the end of my degree and about to start my masters in September and I feel like without a break I will be burnt out before I even start. <br /><br />Take a break and then get back at it :)Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533089130077956200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-70728000967201004792010-04-15T04:27:21.700-07:002010-04-15T04:27:21.700-07:00I strained my ankle last year while marathon train...I strained my ankle last year while marathon training and my doctor said REST and good supportive shoes (and don't wear flip-flops except on the beach!) She said the body is amazing - it will tell you when it needs to rest and will often heal on it's own (if resting), but if you push it too hard that's when other more serious injuries are likely to happen! So I had a hard time taking that much time off training but I'm SOOOO happy to run now without ANY pain! So I think you're doing a smart thing by resting! :)Simply Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492661388892873640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-86524346647426540202010-04-14T21:37:17.111-07:002010-04-14T21:37:17.111-07:00Definitely listen to your body!

I refuse to let an injury stop me. Ive played a game with a chipped ankle bone before. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced, but I refused to sit out. Of course, once the adrenaline stopped, I could'nt walk at all.<br />Resting is good for your body. Just try and stretch real well.<br />Maybe I should take my own advice...Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07273164530914181702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574150421803295175.post-19948075205763827692010-04-14T20:34:20.864-07:002010-04-14T20:34:20.864-07:00I just plan at least one rest day a week as your b...I just plan at least one rest day a week as your body needs recovery time. I tried to do an hour a day of walking at the start of the year but quickly found out that was a recipe for disaster. You should be able to train for your race on 3 days a week if you so choose. I know my knees prefer it. Jeff Galloway promotes this in his training plans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
