Running Training Injury

[dprice80]

Update: just been to get my gait analysed at sweatshop. Oh my god the shoes I had were terrible, cheap asics. Looks like I'm an over-pronator even though I have high arches. This may have been the problem. I'd still be grateful for advice on recovery time and other questions though. Thanks.

" It also hurts if I sit upright on a chair with my right leg on the floor, turn my foot outward as far as it will go, and try to pull my leg in towards the chair."
This is a strong indicator that the pain's origin is within the Biceps Femoris muscle. It is possible that you have tendonopathy of this muscle due to 'stretch' and aggressive impact from running. To determine further issues, how is your range of motion with hamstrings? 2 tests are feet against wall, can you touch wall? Other test is, lying on back, leg up against wall, does your butt touch the wall? There is a possibility of ITband involvement, especially if there is tenderness or tightness across this tendon. Muscle balance may very well be an issue. the Plantaris is involved in your arch at your foot, it may very well be involved with problems with your arch. it may or may not be involved in biceps femoris tendonopathy.
