7/19/13 Friday July 19, 2013 (light jog 5 miles)

In Spokane for work

5:45am - Original Strength, Primal Move drills - 30 minutes


My friend asked me to go jogging so I decided that was a great idea after two huge days of kettlebell work. The jog was nice and easy and we did about 5 miles.

I went running in Spokane last Friday for 5 miles with a friend and frankly am still sore.  Soreness is in the right ankle, calve, and particularly in the right hip and psoas.  This was an issue for me in the past with running – it is almost like I must be running on the right side much harder than the left.  Clearly there is some inefficiency and the movement is not very good and needs improvement.  I don’t run anymore almost ever (I used to do ½ marathons so have some running in my past) and running is not a big deal to me per se, but with all of the great kettlebell training and movement improvements through OS etc. I am quite frustrated this occurred.  I feel like I should be able to drop into a short run without this lingering discomfort.  I am not exactly sure what we do here but wanted to share this observation with you.  One thing I do think is that my more limited ankle flexibility in the right ankle may be an issue and causes a reaction up the chain.  I also have plenty of clicking that occurs in my R hip when doing the OS movements for rocking and a few other movements as well, something I have noticed for a long time.  There is not discomfort with this, but clearly there is inefficient movement in my R hip and has been for a long time.  I had definitely noticed over time my R hip loosen up and it seemed like swings and the OS movement with primal move really helped.  But after running the thing seems locked down and my psoas is definitely talking to me as well.
