A couple of really good sessions in there this week. We can mix up the cross training if you wanted and perhaps add a bit more in replacement for some miles if the adductor is still playing up. If you’re going into the gym for the Stair Climber you could switch the 50 mins easy for time on the elliptical or rower. Happy to mix it up. Happy New Year Steve.

Pretty good session to be fair, been a stressful day laying floor in our hallway which is not not finished yet. I found the hip march didn’t bother my groin atall so I am surprised if that was the cause of my strain but I did find the flutter kicks and deadlifts aggravate it, I will probably hit the gym tomorrow for a treadmill and stair stepper session. Also the gym is shut Thursday so won’t be able to do the stair stepper that day.
If you did want to do a gym Thursday Pure Gym are doing a 3 day free pass. I’ll likely be in there Thursday morning at 8:30 whilst Jax does parkrun. Or an easier option is just move the days round slightly. Glad the groin isn’t stopping you from training completely, but still an annoyance right now.

Hit the gym again and tried to simulate the load of a hill session by doing 10min elliptical warm up, 30min treadmill, 20min stair stepper, 20min treadmill. I think i will head out to guestling woods for my run Thursday and do the stair stepper maybe Saturday 🤔
Pretty much spot on in terms of training pts, so well done there. Yeah just keep it sensible for now. Sounds like you’re being smart and hopefully this will just pass and you’ll be good to go again.

Went to guestling woods for some easy miles groin still a bit painful maybe a 2/3 out of 10 on impact but doesn’t get any worse. I dont thinkni will enter the bexhill xc but will decide on sunday. I feel a bit bad as it means we won’t have a strong team there for HY but I got to do what is right for me. If I dont do bexhill I may add the masters xc on the 17th or beckenham xc on the 24th which is the southern champs. Bit we will have to see, its a right pain in the arse this injury has appeared seemingly from nowhere still struggling to figure out how i have done this.
Sometimes it can just be cumulative fatigue. And remember we have ramped up the training in this block. But you’re right, there was nothing obvious. Perhaps the increase in weights. Look at the positives, you’re still running and hitting good targets. You 100% have to do what is best for you. I got injured when I led a Sunday run that wasn’t fit to do, because I felt obliged. If there are alternative races that give you more time to recover then they would be a much better option. Well done for still getting some decent training in. 💯

1hr elliptical 10min stair stepper. Trying to see the positive in still being able to x train, and my main race of the year isnt for ages.
That’s the only way to look at it. Take the positives. I’m wondering if we can tweak the S&C and add in a few more exercises. We don’t actually really have anything in there which are specifically training the adductors and abductors. Obviously we want it to heal first, but then might be adding them to the routine. Or you just use the adductor and abductor machines when in the gym 🤔 But the injury perhaps has highlighted a weakness in that muscle.
