With agreement of coach Simon I have reverted to my old exercise regime so, as well as a short session of floor exs on Monday, I did my full S&C on Tuesday and have done the same again today. My feedback above is a bit negative – if was very effortful because of tiredness today and also the goblet squats brought on that back of legs pain. Yesterday I had a heavy backpack to take to London and that also brought on the pain, which I’ve noticed before when carrying a heavy weight. So if you agree I’m going to do my best to avoid heavy lifting including a couple of my weighted exs until after Hastings half. I’m fairly sure it’s Piriformis syndrome – symptoms match and that can be aggravated by heavy weight. I’ve added in some extra stretches to my daily routine and feel confident I can keep it at bay but I will try and get a proper diagnosis and advice as soon as possible. I got through the exs ok today and only have an easy run and rest before Hellingly.

Hi Sarah, well done on getting the workout done. Heavy lifting is liking to cause that strain. As you say the heavy bag could have been the culprit. So it’s odd then when the physio says the solution is to lift heavier 🤔 I guess the goblet squats are controlled and short, where as carrying a bag around all day is more of a strain. But yes I’d keep it light for now up until HHM and then you are due a week off anyhow which may really help.
