So today is a test day and I want to see if I need to see a sports doctor for this pain in my leg that I have been having running lately or if I need to stretch more and do more core work as well.
ok...If im not mistaken....Tracy (owl girl) is a physical therapists...and I am a wanna be one! so...tell us Bill where this pain is and when it is at its worst! we need details!
My left outer leg hurts way too much. It is like a pinched nerve type syndrome and when I stop running it actually is painful to lift my leg up to stretch it out unless I stretch my hip flexors first and real good.
With all that being said I am leaning towards not stretching my hips enough when I am done riding and am focusing on that.
The bothersome part is today it actually aches and it has never been like that before.
Trust me on the Athletic part Jules - if I was going around 9-10 min miles I would just back it down. This is painful at my 11 min mile pace and that bothers/worries me!
So I am open to all ideas and suggestions. I should probably call the Chiropractor and get cracked to see where that leads me but I not happy right now!
I am going to let OWL GIRL evaluate you!
personally I say back off on some of your riding/be careful and if you feel it running do back of some on your running, too! CHALLENGE or NO CHALLENGE!
...TAKE LOTS OF ADVIL..ICE...ICE...ICE! and elevate when you can! sure you would like nothing better then to prop those feet up on the desk! hope it is just a sore muscle....I am sending NO MORE OUTER MUSCLE PAIN thoughts your way!
you all better now???
seriously, bill...you take care of that...and if you continue to feel it...NO MORE BIKEY AND RUNNY FOR YOU!
curious ~~ have you been fitted for your bike? it isnt a bike/pedal issue? I know that when I went in for mine...I thought I was sooooooooo dialed in...NOPE my positioning was awful and once I corrected it - I was amazed at how my neck no longer hurt...my lower back never ached like it did before...just a thought!!!
Julie, this is only a run issue. No problems on the bike at all. In the past it would be sore but I could continue on and just stretch it out at the end - last night I had to stop running from the pain and that is very unusual!
If it hurts tonight after being sedentary all day today then I back off the run but I have to give it a shot tonight (I am stubborn like that!)
