Well done Michelle. I am familiar with glute pain. I’ve battled it for a long time. The cause of mine is being sat at my desk for too long. But stretching really helps me. How often do you stretch? Personally I stretch daily. I’m going to add some stretching routines to the dashboard soon, to focus on things like glutes and backs. The one currently on there has some good exercises. I’ll add it to your dashboard for Sunday so you can take a look. In fact yes, I’ve just double checked, that routine is really good. Also if the hamstring and glute is still hurting Tuesday morning don’t do hills in the evening. We can switch that for an easy run. We want you well rested for that Sunday session. I think you’re at a level now where you are capable of sub 2 at HHM, so we just need to be smart and more important to have you injury free than push too hard between now and then. If that means missing the odd effort session, that’s a good thing, it might make you a little slower over 5k but it won’t effect your HM time.
