Daz Does Tri

I'd actually class myself now in rehab.  Hip is 100% not 100% but I'd say maybe 90% and it doesn't seem to be getting worse. So day off yesterday after Tuesday's relatively successful 4 and absolutely smashed the food and drink lol

Wow, big step up. 4 miles @ 7.30/mm @ 154 bpm Felt kind of OK. Had to focus to relax my glutes and it helped.  Def felt better and being able to run 7.30 avge (this miles were 8.01, 7.32, 7.19, 7.09) off a slow up hill start I will take.

Attempt #4 3 days in a row 1.5 miles @ 9.35 pace with Ange Left Hip flexor tightened up then felt like it pulled. Stopped early to make sure as it def wasn’t happy. In road so progress. Stretch & roll to make sure all ok.  So frustrating as every run I’m still hoping it’s ok tomorrow. I’m in the game but need to keep up the rehab

Boom, 1 mile banked. Well, 4 laps of the park. Fuck knows how slow it was and I was pretty much toast by the end but got it done. Hip - again no 'structural' pain just some aching around outside which feels like it can be lived with. As long as there is no 'locking' I think I am good to go. Rebuild conditioning and aim to get back to some form of running.  I think rehab and diet become more important.  Fuck, just had sugar puffs for breakfast lol Feel a million miles from fitness but still treading carefully as I am not 100% that all is clear

Birthday today, 45. Got pretty much all I could want in life but being able to run feels like something small to wish for (I appreciate it's not always that simple) Attempt last week to run led to pain and weakness.

Well, more like #8 if I'm honest but lets start here. Stretched well, lots of activation work.  Run, on treadmill, long story short didn't happen.  Still not 100% and vague aches all around hip again so stopped.

Blog purely for future reasons - when I have same injury again and to give me some sense of persepctive! DO YOUR FUCKING STRENGTH WORK !!
