Question:
What to do in the meentime...?
Alright I am a long distance runner, that is who I am (I am great at sprints, too, but like long distance because it is, well, long distance). I am training for high school cross country this summer and was going along with the plan until about two weeks ago when my legs begun to hurt really bad when I ran. So I started running on the grass and the pain didn't go away. It is in my calf, ankle, and knees. It is sharp, but yet dull at the same time. So I took a few days break before running again but the pain stayed. Today I went to the track and at about the 200 mark the pain started in my knees. At first small but by the 300 it was pretty bad and I couldn't run any farther than a 400. This totally kills me to not be able to run! I am pretty good withstanding pain but not this. I just can't. What can I do?
Answers:
GO TO THE DOCTOR AND STOP RUNNING! you could have done something really bad but if you don't find out and keep running you'll do more (and un-fixable) damage. DUH. don't be silly.
