Sounds like you are doing the right things to get over that injury. I've found massage is the best way and ice. Whether you will be able to run the marathon depends on how bad the strain is. If there's bruising then I would say forget it but if it's not that bad you may be ok.

The marathon is a bloody long way without a handicap so if you do run good luck.

Hamstring strain is usually a three weeker if you are playing football. Not so sure about running as you don't stretch as much but you should be resting, elevating, and taking ibuprofen. Hot/cold therapy is good just after the strain but not now.

How bad was the strain? Did you feel it pop or is just a bit sore?

Cheers gents. Feeling the leg get better just from the warmth of the support I'm getting.

I'll look out for them pacesetters Real G.

Good luck to any others doing and hope you stay clear of injuries.

Considering I've given up the sauce since Xmas, been eating healthy and running. Never have have I had so many kin health problems. Looking forward to get very pissed when I go back on it at the Hull game.

Felt like a nerve on my right hamstring on Monday as well, but its got better this week.

By hook or by crook I will do the London Marathon.

Runners World have some pace runners holding a sign with a time on it, if you stick with them you finish that time.
