Anyone got any strengthening ideas to help get over hip flexor tendonitus.? 

 

Rest to let the muscles heal up.

 

I have the same issue now in my left leg. Swim and cycling is fine. Can't run. Not a happy camper. Off to physio tomorrow and have a new regimen of pre and post run stretching to do.

Buffs Half yesterday

Did not have a good week (and a club fund raiser on Friday night [emoji12] ) so I was planning to take it easy.

 

Started real easy and joined a running buddy at around 6km and as it goes we got chatting about life and all that's happening (you know solving the world's problems and all that). Next thing I knew we had 2k left and I had 12min to get a PB and one mean hill left to go.

 

I picked up the pace slightly knowing I had that last 400m hill before the end, had to dig deep sprinting up but I got my new PB.

 

1h49 taking 5min off my previous 21k PB = one very happy running fat boy

ok...ok ...race report time

 

Was  bit worried about my little abductor strain before but after a warm up run on saturday with a few small sprints it seemed ok saturday afternoon. As a precautionary I popped a myprodol that morning and lined up with the rest of the 6000 runners. The conditions were absolutely perfect - cool and overcast  - and a relatively flat course (390m was the total ascent)

 

We got quite close to the start because last year was a nightmare and our first Km was over 6mins...but it all seemed to go smoothly and we hit the tar at pace. no issues with the leg and I forgot about for the next 3 odd hours. Perhaps a bit of adrenalin kicking in but we sailed through the first 10 rapidly and too fast at an average of 4:35. At the turn we went through at 1:37 for the half..and all was looking good for my goal of a sub 3:20. Went through some dark space between 23 and 30 odd, but started to pick up a rhythm again going up a long very gradual climb. At race-marker 32 with 10 to go i was on 2:29 - so basically had 5 min k's to go from there. I was kind of confident as the last 8km's home is predominantly down and quite fast...but nothing is easy at that point of a marathon. I got through the main hill section by issuing a few walks at the tables and let my legs do some hard work from 34 onward. with a k to go I knew I had it in the bag and took the foot of the gas to ease in at 3:17:56

 

splits were pretty even:

0 to 21.1 - 1:37

21.1 to 42.2 - 1:42

 

All in all  - a PB for me - and a good day out

 

our small sub 3:20 bus...don't know what happened to my shoe

Does anybody else find it intriguing.

 

Cycling: Feel a niggle and you bean yourself (The world is going to end) and take time off, don't train or race. Basically become soccer players.

 

Running: If you are not running with a niggle of some kind you are not training hard enough. Go for a run, feel something getting tight. Keep going for another 10km because that is what you had to do that day.

I thought I had an injury once when I was cycling a lot...I look back it at now and laugh!

Crashes aside, and one setup failure induced knee niggle, riding is such a breeze on the body...

 

Running on the other hand  :lol: 

 

Vaal Marathon this Sunday and I'm shooting impressive lumo snot rockets - loaded up on drugs and hoping for the best! :(
