Hi Terri, thanks for chipping in. Appreciated.
Recovery time – I normally treat Monday as a recovery day. That might mean a recovery pace 30-60min run, epsom salt bath, the usualy mobility routine (yoga stuff, hips etc.) If Sunday is a big day, then I usually take Monday off running completely, but don’t like to prescribe Mondays off during winter when the focus is more on base building, strength, and shorter long runs.

Typical week:
5 x Core (approx 15min)
1 x Legs Muscuylar Endurance (step-ups, lunges etc. typical UA work)
1 x Hip mobility & strength
5-7 days running (E.g. 5 easy, 1 steady, 1 workout)

I took a full 7 days off running a few weeks ago, as it was the end of a 16 week training block and wanted a running break before the next block.

Hi Brett, thanks for your reply.
For a long time black coffee (no sugar etc.) has been the only thing I’ve consumed pre-run, and having training with Uphill Athlete going back to 2019 (shout out to Alison Naney ?), I know my correct HR zones – most of my runs are zone 1. This can happen on these runs or others. This morning I ran 90min zone 2 Steady effort and it didn’t happen! I’m baffled as to what’s causing this. For longer runs, I do normally consume calories after 2hrs, and for long mountain days I usually start fueled (porridge usually). This only started early December and increased to almost every run – it doesn’t last for the duration of the run. More recently it happens less often. It’s a beard scratcher this one! In terms of warm-up, I do 30-40min mobility and warm-up drills before every runs – I’ve been religious about this for years.

Hi John,

It certainly sounds like PF to me. I too get the odd ping in this area. It’s always from overuse, but can be managed with regular mobility. I always start the morning with a massage ball on each foot (3-5min) and a coffee, then I move on to foam rolling & other things that work for me.

As previously stated, the problem is coming from somewhere up the chain. For me, the issues are always on my left side and stem from a lack of hip mobility, thanks to 20 years working behind a desk.

Spend time and find your weakness. A physio that specialises in running can do an assessment.

Good luck with your recovery and future adventures.
