Injured with marathon looming

    Not sure if this is in the correct fourm, but here goes,

    I was at training (Soccer) last night went in on a tackle and felt my knee go.
    the injured area is the MCL, its strained but defo not ruptured. but i'd say i could be out for 2-3 weeks,

    Problem is i'm doing the half connamarathon on April 11th. I've been training pretty hard for it in Jan (intense football training 2 nights a week and 2 runs a week with a match on sunday) i've got my run's up to 10k in about 50 min. and my over all aim was to do the 21.5k sub 1hr 45min. this injury has thrown a spanner in the works,

    so i was wondering if any of the seasoned runners out there have any tips to keep my fitness levels up for the next few weeks so i'm not back to square 1 when i start back training.

    thanks!

    You should go to a physio, to get a proper diagnosis, recommendations for the kind of exercise you can still do, and advice on your recovery.

    mod No-one here can diagnose your injury or give useful advice on how to treat it or train through it. I appreciate that you were looking for advice in a different forum, but discussion of injuries like this is against our charter on this forum, for the reason that bad advice could well aggravate an injury. Metamorphasis, could I ask you to read our charter before moving similar queries over please.
