Hi everyone. I’ve not been on here for such a long time, I hope everyone is well! I’m training for my first marathon and after my long run last week, 13miles on Thursday, I now can’t run at all! Every time I try I just can’t, my legs really hurt to put pressure through them to run! I had a massage/used a roller etc but to no avail! Please help me!
Thanks so much I’m advance!

Sorry to hear you're having problems. It's hard to know what the problem is from your description. Where do you feel the pain in your legs? Are they sore when walking/on the stairs /all the time? Did they hurt during the run, or how long afterwards did the pain start?
It would also be useful to know a bit more about how many runs and miles you do per week, how quickly you've been increasing your miles and how long you've been running for.
Has it eased fairly well by now? Was 13 miles a bit of a jump in distance, or fairly standard for a long run for you?
I can't currently think of many other things that would cause pain quite the way you describe it
