Hip injury while running...
I'm limited to what I can do right now due to a hip injury and was curious if you guys could give me work arounds.
I need to get a 1.5 mile run for the Raleigh FD in under 12 minutes, which shouldn't be a problem. To make myself more competitive for the position though I'd like to come in under 10 minutes. So I need to knock about a minute to two minutes off my comfortable pace (obviously some of this I'll be able to do just from the adrenaline). If I could get down to running a 7 minute mile with no problems though that'd be GREAT!
Right now anything over 800m and my left hip feels like it's someone is stabbing me with a butcher's knife. I'm trying to schedule an appointment with an ortho in the meantime, but until then I need something to do besides GPP and conditioning work, the only time the pain hurts is when I run. I was thinking bike intervals, swimming intervals, and last but not least, rowing intervals (my favorite). Anything else you guys can think of that I'm just overlooking?
I've got till October, so I'm hoping that at the very least I'll be able to run by mid Sept. if nothing isn't too serious with my hip.
