Saturday 27th Augusts run ( 6 miles )

Ran two loops of the park from my house, tired out like i've just run a half hard! It could just be addaption to the higher mileage, the first week at 45 was harder than the second. If i'm honest I feel ok considering this is 33 days running without a break. It's just the piriformis is being a pain in the ass. (oh god thats sooooo hilarious!!!) :[

Piriformis is much better today but hip flexor is tight again, I've looked back over my blog to the last time this happened. Basicly I ran slower for a few days and it got better! Im doing strengthening exercises for the whole area, Abb and Adductor, Glutes and Hip flexor plus I.T.B and T.F.L stretches. Plus the usual Hamstring and Quads.

Comments:
Do lunges mate, with the emphasis on range of motion. Fantastic way to functionally stretch out your hip flexors (functionally stretch = increase range of motion AND strength through the new ROM)
 
Have been, hows your foot?
 
Much better thanks. Did 6 miles easy-steady yesterday, 5.25 miles Fartlek today. Got 11-13 on the cards tommorow. When/where are you doing yours? Also, I've written myself out a new schedule. any chance you couls have a butchers at it if I email you, and see if the mileage rise is too aggressive?
