Early season injury? #2

So, I ran yesterday late afternoon (with the wife) an easy 8k, my second this week, and unfortunately the hip/groin pain is back ... :( Definitely not as stingy as before the break, but nevertheless there. I suppose I should go see my family doctor to get refereed to a sport physician ... :(

Early season injury?

Few weeks ago, just after I had started to ramp up cycling to work and running, I started getting a new kind of pain in the groin area of my left leg when running :( 

It started as just some minor discomfort but as I didn't really take it easy (my bad), it became painful to run without adjusting my running position. To my defense, it wasn't painful enough to make me stop when running and usually the discomfort will be worst until I got warmed-up enough ... Walking was slightly painful but when cycling, the pain was not there but I could definitely feel a little something in the groin/hip area.

At first, I though it was coming from my adductors but then the pain moved a bit along the thigh and to the hip, glute and Rectus femoris. As the result, I have been taking it easier, especially with the running with last week being totally off.

I resumed running last night (with an easy 8km) and the specific discomfort that I was feeling before when running wasn't there. My legs were pretty sore, however, from Sunday's morning 80km ride, so I'll have to see how that goes during the 2 other planned runs for this week ... However this morning, after my usual 22km ride to work my left hip and glute are slightly painful :-\

Double runs, double trouble?

Last week, I ran to work and then back home twice (Monday & Friday). That's the first time that I did such a repeat twice within the same week ... I also ran Tuesday (8km), Wednesday (10km) and Thursday (8km). I took the week-end off (crappy weather helped) since that was a total milage of 62 kilometers for the week. Since the weather is declining and that the cycling season is now in its twiligt, I have been trying to ramp-up my running by doing such repeats. I'm not sure I can do it more than a couple of time per week without risking some sort of injury ... In fact, after a ran yesterday (on top of my usual commute by bicycle), I started to feel pain in my left lower calf (Achilles tendon?) ... So I'm taking it easy for the next few days. #fail
