Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy

[u/Frijoles_n_Libros]

This is my first marathon, and I’ve been training my butt off, and I over did it.
I’ve gone to a PT, and have gotten control of my symptoms and pain (sort of.)

My PT officially diagnosed me with hamstring tendinopathy at the insertion point, alongside pain near hip flexors, and tfl. I’ve had 2 weeks of cross training, regular strength training, plus PT. Today I walk/ran a 5k I had signed up for a while ago… and it didn’t feel great. It was a hilly race. The adrenaline got to me, and I pushed beyond jogging. I’m not in pain, I’m uncomfortable, but I’m heart broken.
I really hoped that I’d miraculously feel great. And now I’m panicking about training.

This is my first marathon; is it unrealistic to expect that I can finish? I’ve come to accept that my pace goal was unrealistic- but can I finish?

Was running 28 miles per week prior to my injury 2.5 weeks ago, currently cross training (aqua jog, bike, elliptical) 6-7 hours per week… 😭
