Notes
Easy Run
50 deg. After a day off and therapy yesterday, right Psoas/Adductor felt much worse today versus any day over the past two weeks (since I went in for therapy). And when I started, I could feel it (hurt to wear I felt like I was limping to start which is how it felt 4+ weeks ago). And whenever I was forced to stop due to car traffic, when I would start up I could feel it again for the first 20-30 seconds. Ran w/a long sleeve only and it felt hot out. Legs felt fresh which is the bizarre story here -- effort and pace felt exactly the same compared to Sun & Tue (8 min) and at mile 5 hit a traffic stop and looked at pace -- 8:26 pace?? First thought is that given how I felt, this injury somehow got significantly worse (after a day off and therapy?) as when an injury is worse than I think I always see a slowdown in pace (mile 4 was equally as slow). Resumed and my perceived effort in mile 6 was the same as the prior miles (other than focusing in on cadence). Continued on (did not look at watch) and felt stronger over the last 1.4 miles (as this run was ending). Only thing I can think of is that psychologically I get bored in the middle and here really got bored?
