Mrs Winkle Sep 2013 1:35pm, 25 Sep 2013 7,264 posts	0 Mrs Winkle My right quad is very sore - I don't recall injuring it at all, and can only imagine it's down to the one legged squats I was doing with my PT on Monday. Left quad is fine. It's particularly sore down near the knee on the inside, and a patch on the outside, middle of my thigh. I have a 20 mile run planned this evening as I am away for a long weekend from tomorrow and won't be able to do it. Would I be completely stupid to run 20 miles on a sore quad? Or would I be a wimp for not running 20 miles on a sore quad?
