Weather: sunny, nice day, temp 14 degrees, humidity 67%, calm
Week: 9.00 km, July: 48.6 km, Year: 1457.6 km
Finally after almost 7 weeks on holidays, arrived back home. From a running point of view, not much happened with only 10 runs, all under 10 kms.
Hip had been a problem in the cold weather, much better when it's warm. Rest has not fixed the main problem, but it has solved several other small problems.
Back home this week, I had my annual medical for my work bus licence and asked the doctor for his opinion on my hip.
After having my left ( problem) leg moved around in all directions, it appears it's not a hip problem. I had hoped it wasn't a bone socket issue which may not have been fixable.
It appears my stronger quads have overtaken the weaker hip flexor/ groin and an imbalance has caused the soreness. The pain has moved down the leg to be in the high quad area.
He advises a few trip to the physio and thinks this may solve the problem. If not, an e-ray/scan may be needed. There is improvement, base endurance is not all lost. The walk today was easy.
Just a matter of slow forward progress. There is a plan in place to increase the base & once pain free, focus on next year's target event.

Physio sounds like a good move. Strong quads from running downhills? Biking? Must have gradually snuck up on you. Hope it gradually goes away.

Welcome home! Good to be getting closer to a diagnosis of your injury. Physio & some counter exercises - ie, hamstrings, glute strengthening & flexibility - may help balance you up & alleviate the pain. I'm with you in wanting winter to be over and Spring/Summer to be here. Bring it on! I say :)
