Frustration or Revelation?

I was hoping to do a 12km steady-state run today, but had to pull up at 8.5km. My pace and effort level was holding up, but the complaining from my left hip/glute was getting louder. It’s disappointing because, without those last few km of the workout, the effort I did make was a bit of a waste.

 

On the other hand, this is really the only injury/hotspot that’s been bugging me this season — it’s clearly the weak link — and so far I seem to have been on top of it. Of course, as the race looms on the horizon there is less time to “manage” the injury, while getting in big training weeks becomes more the point.

 

Yesterday: 12km easy.

Today: 8.5km at 3:42 per.
