Hip wasn't best pleased, have been stretching the hamstrings out the past few days and its helped pain wise. Its still to sore i feel to run on and will only do more harm than good if i did. I'll give it as long as it takes. Frustrated to say the least!! Song of the week - Area 51 'Let it move you' WTD-16miles MTD-108.52miles YTD-619.89miles

Races - 2 - Athboy 5k which was after a weeks heavy mileage for me, it was a decent performance if nothing else. Clonmel Half which went a little better than i had hoped, happy with my race considering the course profile & relatively warm day. I'll be back on the road Monday with a vengeance, my hip feels good again so hopefully thats the back of that issue. I may not race the Athlone Half due to the hip, sorry Bulmers 74 i'll bow down to you this time. Last thing i want is have a year ending injury cause of not listening to my body AGAIN.
Bulmers74 wrote: » Hey Tang, Probably the right call all things considered. I'll be easing back myself next week as with no rest day & two 70+ mile weeks since Clonmel I'm teetering on the edge Hopefully, if I haven't over cooked things, I'll be aiming for 1:31:xx in Athlone. As for a half later on during the year I'll probably do Waterford again in December if I come out of DCM unscathed if you want to go head to head

RedRunner wrote: » Noticing very small improvement each day. Still need the painkillers but not as often. On the plus side with all the back issues my hamstring will get plenty of time to recover.

career move wrote: » If I could go back to May I would have done two things differently 1) stop running sooner - I tried to convince myself I was doing no harm but there is no point at all trying to train when your in pain 2) I should have started aquajogging sooner. It really helped. I think just being in the water for an hour is a big help even if you just splash around Hope you get back running soon

tang1 wrote: » Its still sore, seen physio Monday morning past and she claimed my pelvic alignment was out and that was causing the hip pain. She worked on my lower back & hips for good 40 mins. I'm very skeptical of physios if i'm honest, the pain has eased since my visit but i dont think my pelvis alignment is causing the pain. I cant run for another week at least, i'm in Clare for a week & a half from Sunday in Lisdoonvarna at the Matchmaking Festival, think i'll be having me some pints!!!
