I am hoping there may be someone that has been through a similiar issue and can point out things that helped them out. There are a few factors that I know have affected me recently, but the general trend is that it feels like my inner thigh muscles (more towards groin) get tired/start burning before anything else. This was particularly apparent in a set of 105% FTP intervals last night, in which I actually had to stop early because they felt dead and it then starts having an impact on the rest of the thighs. Endurance intervals are okay, because they are only up to about 70-75% FTP. I am still aware of it, but it doesn't cause me any reason to stop.
I think last night may have been an outlier as this weekend, I have done;
Sat PM : A hard (for me) 5.5 mile with 4 miles above tempo (max effort) run.
Sun AM : Close to 3k in the pool with 12x100 @ 1:45 (2:00 leave) SCM. Which for me is a extremely solid workout
Sunday Day : Out and about.
Sun PM : Attempted to do TR workout http://www.trainerroad.com/...es/1101234-Tiehacker and failed. HR seemed fine, just the inner thighs which went.
So, at least for this workout, I would guess that I have tried to do too much over the weekend and should really have spread the key Run and Bike workouts so that they were not 2 days in a row.
However, as said, it does seem that this is evident on most workouts, and mainly indoors. Perhaps there is an additional element of more focus outside.
I have bumped up my swimming in the last month or so, going from about 4k per week to 1-12k. Perhaps this may have an impact, but I generally do not feel it in the pool in that area.
I have been fitted on my bike and apart from this issue, I believe it is good.
As it is coming up to the off-season, I was thinking of adding some strengthening exercises into a weekly routine to target this area, maybe you have some other ideas or suggestions.
ETA. I am sat here in the office now and I can feel those inner thighs are sore. No other muscles, just those!
Thanks
On the internet, you can be anything you want. It is a pity so many people choose to be stupid.
