Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy is an absolute pain, I've had friends go through it and I know how much it affected them. It sucks being in an injury spiral. All up from here my man, stay safe!
Awwwww I’m sorry it’s been a rough 6 months, Josh! Thanks for the update and exciting to hear you’re getting close to that 15 min 5k again. I sense a great fall is in your near future with running!
Wow, what a long road you’ve been on. Good thing that you know how to take care of your body given your expertise. Sounds like you are on the road to full recovery - wishing you great races ahead. Also hope to see you at CIM!!
Wish you a speedy recovery and good luck with your OTQ, hopefully I can see you at CIM this year! I’ve been dealing with a glute injury as well and it sounds similar to hamstring tendinopathy. I’ve been using the NB SC Trainers as my daily (45mm stack with carbon plate) and been lifting heavy deadlifts. Could be too much, too soon. I took 4 days off from running but it’s still lingering. I couldn’t imagine taking 6 months off!
Thanks Tony. Hope to see you there too! If it is High hamstring tendinopathy, you caught it early which is a good thing. Isometrics and switch to a lower stack shoe and cut back on intensity of workouts. When I had it anything faster than threshold effort would flare it up.
Good to see you back again! I think I migt have high hamstring tendinopathy. Been dealing with it for 6 months - but i'm able to run decent mileage, and decent paces as well. Physio's haven't been able to tell me what it is - but from what you describe, could be that... Btw. Would be nice with more educational videos, for sure!
That sucks! I feel for you. Do you have pain sitting for long periods of time? Pain when laying on your back and driving your heel into the ground with a straight leg? Pain when sitting on the bed trying to put a sock on? More educational videos it is!
@@InTheLongRun Sorry for late respons - and thanks for the sincere message! No not really any of the above.. Went to and osteopath, and it seems it has gone away a bit (even tho he didnt really do anything). Think it might have been me thinking too much about it, and trying to feel it all the time.. But speedy recovery for you, my man!
Nice to hear you are getting healthy and back to training mode again. Regarding future topics, do you mind posting training Videos on some of the exercises to overcome lower back injuries, especially herniated disc?
@@InTheLongRun Yes, yes it does! I'm not sure what residuals means but it has lingered for a long time this second time around, that's for sure. And I don't think herniated but an MRI from about a year back did show several bulged discs, one of which was pinching off the sciatic nerve which was (and still does) cause some sciatic pain down my left leg. Since then it's just been trying to manage those bulged discs. It's been the toughest injury of my career so far! Really hard to shake, and one mistake and it can really set you back.
Ran a half in January in Alphaflys. My first race in them (I’ve always run in Vaporflys). Got horrible calf cramps about 9 miles in. Somehow managed to finish only 15 seconds off my PR, but developed lingering high hamstring pain after the race that lasted until mid May. So about 4 months. I definitely blame the shoes.
That is horrible. I try to do anything faster than tempo pace in a more scaled down shoe. I feel like the stack makes you over stride when running faster.
Dude that sucks! Ima gonna throw a healing goat into the volcano for you. Oh - I'd be into a live video discussion. I've seen you on Kofuzi run club and enjoy your comments.
I've found your shorts content to be pretty valuable. I got to top of Heartbreak with lots of energy left and was starting to speed things up when I got a twinge in my upper hamstring. I slowed it back down to even pace and was still able to finish in a time I felt happy with and it hasn't given me trouble since but I've certainly added in weights since to try to avoid that happening again.
Don’t bother with the mens OTQ.. they haven’t set times yet and judging by what’s going on, the US won’t have any men hitting that time.. you’ll love Wineglass
I believe it is sub 2:18 for men currently to get to the US Trials. I think auto qualifying time is 2:08. Has anyone in the US hit that time currently? Have you done Wineglass? Hoping its a good one!
