My trusted shoes are pretty worn out so yesterday I got myself a new pair. The usual advice at RunningGent, go for stability shoes, so I brought home the 14th release of the Asics Kayano. Expensive rubber but then again, I've got plans for this summer!
This morning I went for a test run. Normally I would have run long, like last weekend, but decided to make it an easier run, a slow 10k or so. Everyone knows it's a good idea to break in a new pair of shoes slowly. Besides during the whole of last week I felt some discomfort on the adductor muscles of my right leg. I guess the hard tempo run on Tuesday did not help. This morning after 25 minutes of slow running I had to stop! The shoes felt pretty good but my hip hurt way too much, it just didn't feel safe to continue running. The worst thing was that I had to walk almost 5k to get home...
In the meanwhile I already made a self-diagnosis, Dr. Pribut's pages have already helped me before. I might have a case of iliopsoas tendonitis. I just hope it does not take so much to heal as he says... it would ruin my plan for July...
More to follow (after an easy week). Easy because there won't be any running, for the rest I doubt it will be easy at all.
