Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a pain on the outside of my hip/glute that runs about halfway to my knee. It had been annoying, but didn’t appear to be anything major.
Yesterday I had a complete meltdown with about 18 miles left in my ride. My leg hurt so much at the bottom of my pedal stroke that I had to make the call of shame.
Out of curiosity I started looking at power balance and notice that it is getting significantly worse- what used to be a 49/51 or 48/52 on average is now 43/57 on my last three rides. Clearly something is going on- hope it’s not major. Going to call the sports med doctor today and see what’s possible for an appointment. Mileage has been pretty low the last 3 weeks so I don’t think it’s overtraining.
The real bummer is that in general I’m feeling really strong.
