High-Intensity-Intervals and Muscle Pulls

[TromboneAl]

Wow. I started this thread in 2006!

So, twelve years of weekly sprints (624) and I haven't had any more muscle strains.

Until today.

It was a minor strain on my fourth interval (again). It was on the inner thigh (a "groin pull"?), the first time I've strained a muscle there. I guess it was the same as last time. So much for memory.

It was pretty minor. I've got ice on it now, and I'm hoping it will be gone tomorrow.

Don't scare me like that! I could swear I recalled this post, and maybe even made a reply, and I know time flies as we age, but please don't tell me it was 2006 - 12 years ago!

Tread water in the deep end for at least an hour. Much safer muscle strengthening and great heart workout. Do not use anything but your own body. Create different movement for core, leg, arm. It's a full body workout. You'll be exhausted. Keep shoulders above water level, that's harder to do, but works everything so much more. I do this 3/week.

Yes, there's something wrong with me related to elapsed time and to misreading text.

Yesterday I noticed a black and blue bruise on my inner thigh. I was scratching my head, saying, "I don't remember knocking myself there."

Then Lena said, "It's the groin pull."

I've never seen a bruise result from a muscle pull, but I guess there was bleeding in there.

I'll ask my doc if she thinks I should do sprints on the beach.

DH had a calf muscle pull a few years ago, and his doc was primarily concerned with blood clots. I guess that's an issue with muscle pulls, especially in the legs.
