Picking up niggles while cross training: Fail!

That’ll learn me! Too much breaststroke on sore muscles = adductor niggle.

I was eager to train some more on Tuesday afternoon. I couldn’t do my ME workout because my legs were still sore from a leg workout I did on Sunday (starting again, hence the sore muscles).

So I swam some laps.

I ended up doing lots of breaststroke, probably too much. I just wanted to stay in the pool longer! Later on I noticed a niggle in my always weaker or at least overstressed left adductor. Fail!

It was nothing serious and is now gone (on Thursday). But it did mean I couldn’t do the ME workout I wanted to do yesterday.

Lesson: Take cross training easy when it’s for recovery, especially on sore legs when doing a movement you don’t usually do!
