    I've been training for my first ever marathon and I'm having pain in outside of my right foot. There is also a little bit of swelling on the bottom. I have a feeling its a Metatarsal Stress Fracture but i'm not 100% percent. I'm in the military so if I go see the doc he'll tell me I can't run. If I run after that I can get in serious trouble. I have 10 days until the Tokyo Marathon. If I rest will it heal enough so that I can run? I know 90% percent of you will say don't do it, but has anybody ran on a foot stress fracture and finished with any problems? Help a rookie out.

    Are you some hobby jogger with a goal to merely finish a marathon? I have tried running on a stress fracture in my foot and I can say that there is no way you will pr if you truly have a stress fracture. You will be hobbling by the half-way point in the race, if not sooner. My advice is exactly what you don't want to hear. Scrap the marathon in the 10 days. Your foot will heal, you will have other chances, don't screw a lifetime of running for one race.

    Running with a stress fracture == Really.Bad.Idea

    The Tokyo Marathon will be held next year too. And the year after that. And the year after that. And so on.
