As an old ultrarunning saying goes: it's better to be 95% shape on the race day rather than 105%. Meaning overtrained body cannot perform as good as undertrained. Best of luck for recovery!
I'm very sorry to hear that Goran! You are a great motivation for me! And you have pushed me to run much more than I did before, I wish you a speedy recovery and the best of luck to be able to compete in the ultra marathon. As always I send you a big hug from Costa Rica!
Good luck with the recovery Goran! I too have been struggling with an on going groin injury for almost 2 years... and now finally it seems that just taking it easy is getting it done. Slowly building up fitness and strength in the groin area.
I had the same problem. I wanted to get better, but my body couldn't keep up. The result was tendinitis. Since then I've been doing more technique training and listening to my body better. Thanks for your videos and enjoy the wonderful nature!
I'm working through an injury from pushing when I should have braked... Hard not to feel sorry for myself, and this video is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you! Cheers from the US!
Thank you for sharing! It's really nice to hear people be honest about their experience instead of some guy acting tough telling you that pain isn't real. You remind me of Hampton from the UA-cam Channel called Hybrid Calisthenics. Sound friendly, always giving advice. You two doing a collaboration would be incredible!
Yeah, I remember there was one guy on my team yesterday while we were doing a workout and it was 4 1ks and while it wasn't too bad it was pretty tiring, however this guy was literally saying things like "oh yeah this is light work, how are you tired this is light work" etc, and then when our coach asked if we could have done one more I said "I could try if you want me to" but he said that I should rest up and do a 15 minute cool down after that, but then my partner said "I can but it would hurt so bad because I had to walk 3 of my dogs this morning", bro literally went from "this is light work" to "OmG tHiS hUrTs bEcAuSe i HaD tO wAlK mY dOgS ThIs mOrNiNg" in a span of 20 minutes XD
@@Bweyg Stuff like running really tests to see if you have a heart strong enough to say “no.” I hope that dude is alright. Like, was dude this walking the dogs or were dogs walking him?
Great video as always! I appreciate your honesty and transparency. Keep up the great work and good luck with the recovery. Also, congratulations on achieving over 20,000 subscribers!!!
Goran, really sorry to hear your news and hopefully you’ll be back to full fitness in no time. It is brave and honest to share your injury and why that became the current situation you find yourself. A lesson to us all. Get well and best wishes, Mark
I think we all can relate when we experience some pain at some point and we kind of decide to ignore it, but we always need to find the balance and don't let things go worse. Hope you can have time to nurse yourself and be at the starting line. If not, don't put pressure and think about in the long term so you can stay healthy for future events. Cheers,
Self diagnoses is the most difficult version. Sorry to see you injured - recover fast! And learn.... :) The only way to find your limits, is to cross them.
Just a heads up guys, I went for a run yesterday in 30 degrees and almost fainted in the road. Don't be like me, just run in the evening or wait out the heatwaves!
@@TruTube.1. Running in Tennessee is the same way. You just have to adapt to it because there isn't a time when its cool. Its either 75 F (24 C) with 100% humidity in the morning or 95 F (35 C) with 75% humidity in the evening.

Hei Göran, Ser ut som vi gikk i samme fella. Har også liknende skade og har Maraton om 2 uker som jeg trente litt for hardt til. Ser fram til gode tips, pg høre hvordan du ble/blir skadefri. Beste ønsker om "swift" recovery ☺️🙏
I totally empathize with you. I was recently trail running in Lake Tahoe, California and I sprained my ankle. How I got hurt and how I recovered is not what I tell others to do..,
I had the exact same thing happen to me as I was preparing for a 26km trail race. I started running two months before learning about the race, got too ambitious and started pulling long runs and ignored the growing hip flexor pain. It got so bad that I couldn't walk for a few days. I still pushed myself though, hiked but couldn't run or do anything high-intensity. I did massages, stretches etc but the healing was very slow. Then I read Nims Dai's book 'Beyond Possible'. In one section he described how he overcame HAPE (high altitude pulmonary edema) and returned back in four days to climb Mt Everest. At that moment I decided for myself that if he could do that, I can do it too. And the pain started decreasing faster and faster and it was gone in a week. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't consider your injury a failure, rather a lesson that you had to learn. I hope you recover quickly and go back to running and achieving great results.
Hey Goran. Best of luck with the recovery process. I’ve been battling plantar fasciitis and hip pain for a while. So I can empathize with your struggles. Also. What kind of mic are you using? Your audio is always really good, with just the right amount of background noise.
God bedring Göran. Jeg har samme skade lige nu. Efter at have løbet 2x 5000m konkurrence og en 10.000m konkurrence indenfor kort tid. Indtil jeg er klar igen bruger jeg Crosstraineren. 🤞🤜🤛
@@goranwinblad Almö is so beautiful. When I run there, I usually start at Hjortahammar and run one loop on Tromtö, Almöleden to Hasslö/back and then Kvalmsö and Vambåsa. As an alternative to your 100 km ultra, you can run Blekingeleden from Ronneby to Karlskrona via Hässlegården..
I started running about 3-4 months ago and I 100% relate to the feeling of "I'm just unlucky". I kept getting extreme shin pains which I just tried to push through without actually trying to find out WHY I was getting these pains. I really wish I actually did something about it at the time, because after pushing through the pains for weeks/months, I'm now dealing with the possibility of stress fractures on both legs. If I had just listened to my body at the start I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in now.
I have the same injury for over a year now. Running uphill, strides and prolonged sitting make it worse. Tried complete rest for 3 weeks, various stretching and strengthening exercises and the only thing that helped was a iliopsoas tendinopathy recovery protocol from a scientific paper. It hasn't gone away yet but it's manageable. Also MRI and Xray showed nothing wrong. I'd appreciate it if you shared your recovery plan ! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Here in Spain its hard to train. From 10 am to 8pm its way too hot. Its hard to find a gap in that short interval that fit my plans... usually on hurry, no warm up and risking getting hurt
I have many ultra runners friend. We all suffer some kinds of pain. My hips after 30 miles/50 km turn in to burning hell. I can't fix it or make it stronger. I just need to suffer while running. This is part of my life pretty much.
Did get get an actual diagnosis of the problem with your hip flexor ? I am mountain ultra runner. I’ve had stress fractures in both hips training for 100 mile races in the alps. I’ve learned the hard way about these things!
Hi Gavan, no my plan was to load it less for a week and starting to do excercises and it's a lot better now so I'm hoping it was just a tendon overload problem like I thought. I'm a physiotherapist myself so I like to try to treat myself before searching help.
Psoas or iliacus injury? If so, driving an automobile only exacerbates that sort of injury. There are good stretches for those and even ways to perform self-massage on those muscles. A speedy recovery for you, I hope. Injuries can happen even when we think they won't.
Hopefully your recovery will be quick, and hopefully you find replacing exercises, even though they don't feel the same. I used stretching and HyperVolt to get of hip problem, and avoided steep hills for a while, but then again, I only run 50K per week and my hip problem was very mild. Can I ask, if runner has 178 spm cadence and 1,89 m stride length, what should be changed? Should he increase step length or increase the cadence?
Thanks and thanks for sharing your experience! That sounds like a good stride frequency but it's hard to tell since it's individual for all of us. From my experience the more you run the more natural and better stride your body will adapt to.
Mate, you are inspiring in your drive to achieve your goals but you are entering a different monster with mountain ultrarunning. The success in ultras is not determined by finishing a race, many people can do that, but in finishing healthy and not hindering your next months of running. IMHO that is a change of perspective in what your training should be focusing on. Add gym sessions in your agenda and get much much stronger than you would be for a road race. And enjoy it.
@@goranwinblad i know, still might be good to let someone look at it from the outside. Often these injuries stem from an imbalance in the back. Hope you´ll be back running soon
As an old ultrarunning saying goes: it's better to be 95% shape on the race day rather than 105%. Meaning overtrained body cannot perform as good as undertrained. Best of luck for recovery!

Running streaks almost always lead to an injury because inevitably the streak becomes more important than listening to what your body is telling you.

You didn't fail, you are just did a little catch-up with your limit. Try to learn about him in order to start out running him again.
U will be better soon🙂
Yeah I hope so 😊
You talk about ignoring the pain as being the mistake, but do you feel that you overtrained before feeling pain?
