Owwwww...

I'm just about to start week 5 of the programme, and so far I've been alright, just a bit achy some days. But on Monday I was volunteering and we sprinted for a bus - and as I went up on the curb, my groin muscle reallllllly twinged. It wasn't unbearable - I could walk on it, and it's easing up a bit now, but it's still a bit uncomfortable. So, should I run, or should I take a rest day and see if it's any better tomorrow? Really need some advice! Thanks.

Hows it feel after some stretching?

I would always recommend resting with an injury. Trying to push through pain could make things worse. If it persists then get checked out by a doctor just to be on the safe side. Hope you recover soon. Good luck and best wishes.
