re: Runners- need help with a pain

The amount of mileage someone runs is only 1 piece of info as to what might have caused the problem and what the best remedy might be.
Some months of the year I may average 30 miles per week while other months I may average over 50, but going from 30 one week to 50 the next is a recipe for pain and injury.
If a correct build was followed, there is no reason that someone can't run 6-7 days a week with very high mileage. That being said, even high mileage runners do need rest weeks every now and then.
My simple solution would be rest a couple weeks as well because just from what I have seen of the OPs posts and my judgement to his ability/knowledge level, he probably started too soon too fast and did not allow for a proper adaptation to high weekly mileage.
What someone else does is irrelevant if you don't build and train the correct way to get there. Also, the higher the mileage the more things like proper form/stretching/rolling etc may come into play.
Simply knowing the miles and pace you run per week is only a very small small small piece to the puzzle.
