Achilles fine again but right hip niggling away. I've had small issues with this hip in the past but this is as bad as it has been.

Today was the day I had marked to start marathon training, so these niggles are not ideal. Fitness has been really good the last month or so though, so if I can get on top of these issues, I should be able to press on OK. It's all a bit frustrating though, since things seem to have unravelled fairly quickly.

I've got some good plans for marathon training moving forward, but I need to get on top of these niggling issues first. The key to this block is going to be discipline. I've trained well in the last few months but I haven't been very disciplined - I've eaten a load of junk, not done the extra prehab/strength/stretching and probably done too much running at times. So moving forward, the goal is to get on top of those things.

Physio appointment for this afternoon to get these niggles looked at and start getting back on the right track.

Ran after physio. Hip felt much better than this morning, Achilles much the same but no worse. Nothing too serious but put my mind at rest getting it seen to.

Achilles - happy with the progression and management. Manage load, calf stretching and strengthening.
Hip - tightness and weakness. Glut activation/strengthening and general mobility/stretching.

Physio exercises.
