Visited my doctor today, he said cramming an 18 week program into 12, (and then training harder than the program, by the way I did not own up to that bit) was not a good idea and I've broken my body, he says I have chronic fatigue of the knee, ankle, foot and stomach ligaments (apparently the stomach ligaments stop your belly falling off your legs) anyway I've over done it to the extent it's all buggered and I have to stop.
I've got gels, creams and pills and orders not to run until Sunday! "Yippee" I said "So the marathon is on then?" "No!" he said, I have to try 3 miles only, and if I have no problems I can consider the marathon on the 19th BUT only if I'm symptom free, I've been resting for the last two weeks so I can't see that somehow. He then told me he did similar last year and injected himself before the marathon with all sorts of pain killers before running a sub 4 hour marathon. However, he did say it took him a long time to recover and he would not do the same for me.
Medically, technically, bodily chronically fatigued J
