LM warmup, 4.14 miles in 41:47, 10:05/mi, HR 154 & stretching. Left hip locking up again. This time the left hamstring and adductor were contracting during swing phase, shortening stride until it was really wreaking havoc on my stride. Reverted to run/walk to get thru 4 miles. Ran a few short fast strides afterwards, which were fine. Also did some high knee and heel-to-butt drills without any issues. Ankle flexibility is still lacking somewhat but improving. Pain was tolerable. Still holding out hope for Saturday. |
