My groin "went" when I was out running. I kept trying to run on it, thinking the pain would go away. Very silly. It didn't. I kick myself now (or would, if it wouldn't set off my adductor muscles). If I'd just stopped, I can't help feeling it would have taken less time to heal.<br /><br />The worst things for it I found are any awkward, side-to-side movements (e.g., like when you have to negotiate "z bends" around furniture).Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-48842238743742762222010-07-12T23:37:25.622+02:002010-07-12T23:37:25.622+02:00Thanks, Argent, appreciated.Thanks, Argent, appreciated.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-32939430030087309142010-07-12T20:12:59.248+02:002010-07-12T20:12:59.248+02:00Simple and true!Simple and true!Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-16261468446807752282010-07-12T17:19:52.831+02:002010-07-12T17:19:52.831+02:00You're not wrong, Peter.

Unfortunately it's not here. I'll have go and fetch it. It's great fun to rattle along the forest trails; these tend to be reasonably dry and not too steep.<br /><br />I think the walking sticks (or treking poles) are good in that you seem to use different muscles, or same muscles in a different way, from normal walking. The groin seems reasonably OK in the mornings and gradually makes its presence felt later in the day - depending what I've been doing.<br /><br />But as you say, it's a long job. I was silly to do the race with it. But then there's no fool like an old fool :)Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-29278107426737004682010-07-11T13:17:56.637+02:002010-07-11T13:17:56.637+02:00I tried to post this comment on Bard on the Run bu...I tried to post this comment on Bard on the Run but it wouldn't let me (said I had to be a "team member"? Haven't seen that before):<br /><br />Groin strains are xxxxxs! I still can't run without the risk of aggravating it - and it'll soon be 10 months. (I'm 52). The only exercise I've found that doesn't affect it is, as I mentioned before, cycling. I think this is because a simple groin strain is -I think- an adductor strain. I'm no expert, but I think the adductors keep your feet pointing forwards. On a bike your feet are firmly on the pedals and so your adductors don't have a lot to do. Best of luck with the poles: will it reduce the stress on the adductors (if indeed that's the problem)? - I wouldn't like to say. I certainly get a thrill from off-road cycling - I can get up and down rough tracks on hills on the mountain bike. It's not quite running, but I'm determined to enjoy it!Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-29089258254217347582010-07-11T13:05:27.651+02:002010-07-11T13:05:27.651+02:00What a driver!
