I’m no expert but a friend complained about inner thigh pain after shorter runs and discovered she needed different shoes after gait analysis. She is ok now.
I’m sure there are better experts on this than me though. Hope you sort it.
Thanks for the info. Shoes have been fab so far (300 km of running) and were analysed for fair etc when I bought them. And terrain was “normal” so can’t see what was different today.
Are you using a sports watch? Does your data show anything? Increased speed or heart rate?
Inner thighs can be over-striding, taking slightly too big a step. It doesn't usually hurt until after but it can be a sign you need to adjust your stride or ease up a little. Those muscles have not adjusted yet.
No heart monitor but I track my time/speed. It was warmer than I'm used to but my pace was as per my usual, though hadn't thought about stride length and so on. Maybe I was running a bit differently. Much better today, having done parkrun yesterday.
Hopefully it's a passing thing. Feedback from the body does need to be heeded, often it's just adjusting to the new activity but it's important not to ignore warning signs 👍😁
Yes, having had some horrible injuries (not running related) I am very aware of any twitches and signs. This is probably a one off, something just a bit different about that run, but as you say I don't want to ignore any warning signs.... fingers crossed it's done with!
