I have been slightly favoring a leg do to a issue with my left leg. I have had to cut my miles drastically this past week. I have a session planned in a few days, but all l can do is run on the grass for a 40 minutes and even then it acts up after 20 or 30 minutes. I have some races scheduled in a few weeks. Should stick with the grass and easy runs, doing strides and no workouts till l am able to do strides on the road without favoring a leg or just do it on the grass? Like, don't do a session at all until l am completely fine running on the road without favoring that leg; no fast running at all till it's a 100 percent or try some running on the grass?

re: slightly favoring leg

Get in the pool ASAP and work your ass off to supplement a small amount of running.

Your glutes are not firing , squats and deadlifts. heavy sets, lots of walking. Also , the windlass mechanism of the foot , make sure that's working....and quit drinking coffee.

How long does that take to work? Can you run while working on that, doing workouts and all that?

If it's an overuse injury , something that's been around for a while, like more than a couple of days, then one way or another there is probably going to be cutback to one degree or another. . Really, if it's a running injury that's probably the case. Sustained cutbacks due to injury are part of running for most people.

As far as all the exercises I recommended. I don't really know what people need to do.
