Can I get a injury by running a HM so severe that I won't be able to walk too ?
Howdyy Runners ! 🏃
I ran my first HM 2 weeks back...and I did it on very minimal practice and base.
Due to college final year I only did one long run, one 10k and one 5k two weeks prior to my HM.
Finished the HM in 2:40.
Now....2 weeks after the run, I have developed this mild-ish pain in my knee which is only there if I bend my knee, like during standing from sitting. It disappears when I run. Also it is not present while I walk or at rest.
I have my next HM this coming Sunday and again I will be going with very little practice.
I can go for the run, right ? I am assuming it is nothing serious .
Also , can I ever get an injury only by running till HM distances so severe that I won't be able to walk even ?
This really matters to me because my college is gruelsome and I really can't afford such an injury at any cost.
I will be very thankful.
