Hi Sandra 77 - I agree with the others above - it is likely to be your back...but you have to make sure you have rehabbed the hamstrings properly.
The innocuous nature of the injuries - like turning right when running (everyone does that in a race) says to me that something in your body is not working right and is putting pressure on you sciatic nerve or hamstrings...you haven't said you have a confirmed tear via scan or U/S...
Personally, i think you need to see someone who can review how your body works as you stand on one leg and then the other and whether your muscles are firing in a nice coordinated way.
Who knows, it might actually be your thoracic spine or neck causing issues! I know that when i run, it is my neck that is the problem and causes all sorts of mischief in my back, legs, muscles etc!
marathons - you are nuts! An incredible effort! I am not built to run marathons, maybe watch movie marathons
Cheers

[B]My Philosophy:[/B]
The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.
