28th Dec -3rd Jan - Injured

According to literature its Pirformis syndrome, symptoms are generally worse when sitting than standing which explained why it was worse when sitting than standing on bike.

Treatment is stretching the piriformis and strengthening the hip external rotators

Is commonly caused by running (over training and lack of stretching afterwards) - probably guilty of both

Took this week of to try and ease the pain.

Plan-
Start back training w/c 4 the January 2010 doing:

• weights, albeit lower weights for leg
• Swimming
• Yoga
• perform specific stretches every other day
• Perhaps start easy biking towards the end of the week
