Sigh.... Another injury scare at the moment. I did 90mins with 45mins tempo in on Wednesday which felt ok, and then was walking round London all day shopping with my mum. Everythign felt ok, but when I ran the next morning, there was a very slight tightness in both hips/piriformis, primarily my right one. On my 2nd run later on, this seemed more prominent and tried to stretch it out in the evening.

I woke up this morning and even shifting around in bed I knew I shouldn't run on it. Feels very sort and can feel it walking around and is very tender. This means I've pulled out of the relays tomorrow, which is a big disappointment, but I have to try and preserve myself and will stretch more and if I have no improvement over the weekend, arrange some physio ASAP.

I'm not sure if it's just piriformis or sciatic troubles at the moment. It's strange that it's present in both hips, and hopefully it's just a brief flare-up and all will settle down in a day or two.

Will keep you posted....

Good luck to everyone who is running tomorrow.
