Justwondered if any of you exerieinced runner can help. I ran my first marathon in New Yorks a few weeks ago on a plodding "Get Your Round" programme. Long runs were no problem ut whenever I tied to run faste or add speed sessions I found he muscles on the front of my thighs were very sore and tight for days after. I had warmed up an stetched before. I have got a place in the London Marathon and want to run under 4hours 30 minutes.

you may be making a mistake between the pain of improvement and the pain of injury, you'll get to know which is which.
however, as i always say, if you do get really sore, and you think you could beinjured, take a break and get checked out but someone who knows their stuff, injury is your arch nemesis.
You didn't mention stretching *after* your sessions - do you do this?
