It happened again. In the cold condition without proper warm up the abductor maximums (I think that’s the one) hurts and my leg doesn’t want to move. It’s been bothering me for three years or more and I have to stop running, usually winter short races or speed sessions. I’d like to do more middle intensity trainings (long intervals, progression run or tempo etc.) instead of speed sessions.
I agree, I think given this little niggle it would be wise to stick to tempo based sessions for now, at least until London, then in the summer months when it warms up, that would be the time to reintroduce the speed work. Hopefully the addition of the side lunges will slowly build strength in the adductors. Because that’s the exercise which really focuses on that part. I’ve started doing them with a 10kg weight and I can feel the difference. Glad you found your hat and love the coat 🧡
