I am always modifying my training to fit in with my life and goals. No one knows me like me and I take the best bits that I see / learn from other people and put it all together in to a package for me. I mainly use HR training to run slow, running slow is harder than running fast in terms of mental discipline.

My resting HR averages 47bpm.

My maximum HR is around 180bpm (might be lower tbh).

My threshold HR is around 160bpm.

30 Minute Fitness Tests

Around 8 weeks ago my right hip started giving me pain, bit that much during running but after a run and when sleeping on that side it hurt. Running on consecutive days really set it off, but it eases right off if I don’t do anything. It does not usually hurt that much, just an annoyance, but sometimes it is quite painful.

I have tried self massage, icing, anti inflamms and some exercises. Don’t feel it is getting any better or worse.

Strategy from today:

Ice 4 times a day for 20 minutes

Take anti inflamms more regularry

Self massage the sift tissue above and below the bone where it hurts.

Stretch by laying down, pulling the knee into the chest and then over to the opposite shoulder. And Kneeling lunge stretches. Several times a day, hold for 20 seconds.
