Hi TheEd,
Last week did not go as planned, due to injury. I felt slight pain in my left hip during the latter part of an easy paced long run I did on Sunday 31st of May and again in the easy run on Tuesday (day 1 of program). Skipped the easy short run on Wednesday.
On Thursday I started the 5x2k session, warmed up but did not get even halfway into the first interval before the pain was much more pronounced and I decided to stop in order not to inflict further pain and injury. Walked back home.
Since then I have been feeling slight pain when walking and have not even tried running. It has been improving though and I discussed with a physiotherapist yesterday who believes it is likely to be hip bursitis. Gave me a stretching exercise and advised me to take it easy or exercise alternatively (bike) until the pain is gone. Just need to give it the time it requires to get injury free before kicking off the program again. If it continues to improve I intend to try an easy short run (20 mins or so) in a couple of days.
Cheers,
Chris
