So it has been almost 8 days since i did a heavy deep squat and circuit session[ squats included] and still have not been able to run properly....despite having quite focused massage into the piraformis muscle, adductors and other external rotators of the hip

having done a little bit of self massage/ release + stretching on the muscles of the hamstring ( particularly the Bicep Femoris, which is also an external rotator of the hip) , the symptoms did ease slightly.

It turns out that stretching and massage could be the most important part of my training program this year ( Another Critical Counter Intuitive Gem)

Ergo..... Will not be training so hard that I am too tired to stretch anymore ( in warm up and warm down - Th critical time) and will not  be maxing out on any squat involved exercises unless I have a massage booked for that day or the day after. (Piraformis, Glutes, Hamstrings)

My stretching and self massage game must be Upped.
