Just as I was ready to go to bed Isaac (22 months) woke up distressed and so it took me another hour or so to get him back to sleep. So the alarm went this morning and I ignored it, knowing that I had a meeting at 10am at Gladesville so I could leave home late and thus go for my run a little later.
Headed to the gym for another 3:50min/km session. First km was fine at 6min/k pace for a warm up, nothing from the tender area from Sunday and so I cranked it up to 3:50 pace. Almost immediately I could feel some restriction but thought bugger it, lets get going. It seemed I was unable to fully stride out but made it through the first 4 sets, savouring the 1:55 standing break. The fifth km seemed ok but just past the 500m mark I started to struggle and unable to stretch out or seemingly pick up the pace and hit the stop button at 700m. Waited about 2 minutes and then did a km warm down and the dodgy hip area was still sore as I cooled down so I walked home.
Started doing some quick research on the net as to what it could be and did not like what I found so will go into denial and hope it goes away. Summer Series tomorrow night at Artarmon which should be a good tempo/fartlek session but will need some sort of warm up.
Got the Bodylink working again so here's what the HR looked like.
Interesting to note my max was just over 180, I've hit a lot higher than that so maybe I'm being a little soft on the treadmill (doesn't feel soft though)
