40 mins elliptical.

Hip flexor set back - feels worse than it did yesterday. Not sure whether it was being back at the desk or the cross-training. So another rest day tomorrow. Really hoping that Im not losing gargantuan amounts of fitness. I am certainly losing gargantuan amounts of sanity, not being able to run :(

Sorry to hear about your hip flexor! Sitting is definitely worse for that irritated muscle.

This exercise has really helped me a lot and might be worth a try - 1 x 10s hip flexor inhibition exercise (patient lies supine in hook lying and is instructed to dorsiflex at the ankle and push through their quadriceps as if to gently slide up the mat. The challenge is to contract the quadriceps without activating the hamstrings. If done correctly, the tibialis anterior and quadriceps are activated, while the hamstrings and hip flexor is inhibited)

Thanks Andrea! I'll give that a go. As of this morning, I have convinced myself that somehow I have developed a hip stress fracture, and am just narrowly avoiding a mild panic attack. (I dont think its a stress fracture; I cant hop on it, but there is no pain while stationary or lying down/at night...but it doesnt stop me panicking :)
