Injury Woes

I began marathon training in early April as one of my main running races for 2017 was the Brisbane Marathon, aiming to go sub 3 hours and 45 mins. I had started using Hal Higdon's training plan for an Advanced marathon runner, I have run 2 marathons, therefore I consider myself advanced :)

One week into the training and I started to feel something not quite right on the top of my right foot. At first I did what all good runners do and ignored the pain, thinking it would go away by itself. The next training session it was still there, and the one after that. It got to the point where I decided that if I continued on it, it would cause some serious damage.
