INJURY !

[Gyates]

I am absolutely gutted. I was one Run 2 on Week 5 when I had the most awful pain in my hip. (I suffer with hip/back pain anyway due to a car accident about 6 years back.) I shuffled through the rest of my run, left it a couple days and went back out to try and do it again and I just couldn’t, my fitness was there but the pain was too much. It’s now been two weeks and I haven’t gone out once. I don’t know whether I’m scared of the injury or I have just lost all momentum to get back out there. I had scheduled my runs so that my final run was on my birthday ( in 3 weeks’ time.) I know I will have to go back a week and so my little birthday present to myself will have to come late. With my holiday next Friday I really really want to get back into it for this last week and a half. I could fit 6 runs in between now and then If I could just get out that door !

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Real pain, ( not just the normal aches and pains of the new running weeks) should never be ignored...maybe get it checked out.. there are exercises, but if this is a residual injury it may be a good idea to have it checked by your GP?

It is horrid.. I have just had the slowest run/walk ever, as I am just off the IC and under strict instructions from my Physiotherapist about how to start back

You will come back to it, and other exercises for upper body and your good side can be done!

Keep us posted please? x

PS

I love late Birthday presents anyway!
