I took three and a half week off and did first run tonight of 7.4 mile and it was fine.
Get yourself a sports massage quick to loosen up the muscles as they are prob very tight. If I remember rightly your local to me as I remember you doing liversedge half so I an give you name of a great guy in mirfield if you want. He charges 20 quid for half an hour and has really loosened my muscles.
Also get a foam roller or use. Rolling pin on outside of your thigh down to your knee to help things along but don't push he training now with only three week to go.
Don't want anything going at this later stage ?
Get a bad injury now .
Get a massage asap, I would say. You may need a few. You've done most of your training so you can relax now. Maybe just cycle or water run for a week or 2, you wont lose fitness.
I also have a friend who's a physio so gonna get it confirmed as getting worried looking at net .The main thing is it has not got bad enough that it has stopped me while running so must be early signs so am gonna take a week off get my massage sorted and just easy bike till
London. Like you say I have put the miles in now time to relax.
I am just glad it has happend after I have done all the hard runs at least I got my 23 miler in roll on London just hope it all goes to plan :0).
