Tuesday running = 5 minutes of walking as warm-up, then three 8-minute runs with 2-minute walks in between and a final cool-down lap around the track after the last run.
I then did 10 push-ups, 10 squats, 10 TRX rows (body weight rows), and 6 lunges on each leg. I attempted a second set, managed to get about half way through.
In the last lap I ran, I had some pain in the groin on the left side -- definitely affected my run, my walk, and my not so great attempt at squats and lunges -- I just had no kind of hip flexibility on that side. Did a little self-diagnosis by trying to raise my leg against resistance with the knee bent a bit (no pain) and trying to squeeze my fist between my knees (there's the pain!)
Looks like an abductor injury. It didn't hurt enough for me to worry too much about a tear, but it's still a little sore today.
I still weight 280 pounds, so that's a lot of weight for 8-minute runs. I'm not terribly surprised I finally hurt myself doing that lol. Also, while I walk/run Tuesdays, Thursdays, and most Saturdays, I also do weights Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Part of that is farmer's carry, which is probably pretty rough on the legs as well. I definitely get a good arm and shoulder workout carrying 100-pound dumbbells across the gym floor, but I suspect that I'm working the hell out of my legs too, since I weight close to 500 pounds while walking with the dumbells.
Anywho, My trainer said no more running until the pain is gone, and DEFINITELY no 200-pound farmer carry. I'm skipping the gym today. It bothers me a bit that I won't be in there lifting on weight day, but I'm still a tad sore all over -- from the groin to the lats. well, not a consistent line of soreness, but both definitely feel like they need a little more recovery time lol.
I usually don't do the strength training circuit at the end of our running class because I do weights the day before and after each class. I think I'll skip that part Thursday too, then hit the weights Friday morning and see how I lift after a few days off.
