Then I'm afraid I can't help. Sorry Bud.

ah well, no probs anyway, I had a laugh at the three sarcastic posts above your last then did my tuesday night (non-running) workout. Had a shower and it feels a lot better now. Laughter is the best medicine, just like reader's digest used to say!
I'll go easy on it for the rest of the week, if its not significantly improved, I'll see the doc.
Now, can anyone advise me on which paint scheme suits my house best?

What, in 2002?
I hadn't even bought the house then!
Why weren't you answering earlier, when I requested a crystal ball?

I looked in the crystal ball & it said its a common ailment, just give it 3 days and crack on with it.

I get those pains when I overtrain. Especially in the shins.

Try swimming. Cycling is fun too. I did 25 miles on the bike today, its like interval training because you blow hard up the hills, recover on the downhill and have a steady pace on the flat. I did a steady 4 mile run after that. I find that mixing the CV reduces twinges in the old legs.

It's a big crystal ball.

Cheers for that, maybe I just pushed it too far (as you said to my missus last weekend,I know!)
Good idea with the cycling, I live in a very hilly area, so it might be a good alternative.

.......... Just dont replace the running with cycling - incorporate it into your current program along with gym work, circuits and swimming. Google 'tabata' and try that method - it can be utilised on many exercises, my favourite being on the rowing machine. Its nails.

Re your injury, as others have said there are too many factors contributing to give an accurate cause (especially over the internet). That said a GP might not have much of an idea either if its a sports injury. If I were to narrow down the list of possible causes, prevention and treatment:

1: You are doing well losing weight but your still heavy and thats a lot of pressure on the limbs. Focus on losing the weight and you will likely see your distance and time when running improve naturally.

2: Have your running gait analysed at a professional running shop (run and become for example). You may have the wrong running shoes/worn out running shoes.

3: Warm up, cool down and stretch properly before and after a run. In winter use ron hills to keep the legs warmer.

4: Treat with RICE and rather than popping pills, use ibuprofen gel on the area.

5: Lastly this may not even be an injury - it get all sorts of niggly aches and pains when running. Just keep an eye on it and crack on.
