x-no-archive:yes
For the last 2-3 weeks I have something wrong in my leg. It hurts a
little but not really bad in the area actually behind my knee. It is
hard to duplicate and only hurts when I take a step. When running it
hurts worse when I first start out but as I go farther it bothers me
less. What can I do to get rid of it?
Also, My times are coming down but I have noticed for some reason I am
getting more tired quicker. But I also noticed if I slow down real slow
or stop for a minute, then take off again I am full of energy again
like I just started running. I found this out Friday when I decided to
run the 5 k course for the race on ober 21. I had to stop for less
than a minute to cross the street, etc. It was weird.
Any more advice on decreaseing time and increasing stamina between now
and then? Also, there is a smaller venue 5k this Saturday. Helpful to
run it or not?

Judging by your post, I'd say it's a closed head injury.

It sounds like popliteal tendenitis. There are a number of possible
causes. You may be working too hard, particularly lifting your leg too
high in back. Personally, I would avoid the temptation to stretch it.
This can get much worse and fast. When it does, it's hard to even run
on it. You can run with the injury, but only if you are getting paid
the hour rather than the mile.

I guess I was refering to the post not person writing the post, will
agree on the humor comment.

It always took about two weeks to go away in my case. I've avoided it
in recent years by correcting my form. In the short term, If I were in
your shoes, I would take a day or two off at most and continue running
after that at an easy pace until the race. I would also run in a
different pair of shoes if there seemed any chance that footwear
contributed to the injury.
PS. From the tone of your other posts, you're just going at this too
hard without any knowledge. Injuries are going to be more common for
you. Join a club or find a few friends that have been running for years
and try not to say too much.

You need to take some time off especally if one injury is leading to
another.

How did you correct your form? How do I tell if my form is ok? (I live
by any runners I know of). I started having this problem while wearing
old shoes. I bought new shoes just recently but still have the problem.
Actually, I must be compensating somehow for the knee because my hip is
hurting a little today.
