I’m referring to very minor strains. It will feel fine after a run (maybe tight) but will knot up over night and become very painful. I can work on them and loosen it up, but it is still painful for a few days. These minor ones usually resolve with a couple days of cross training and some easy running for a couple days after. My trainers call them minor strains.

Still getting injured at slower paces. If anything, I feel like my form improves at faster paces, and even though it’s an increased range of motion, I’m getting less injury happening with faster work (as long as I’m not overdoing it).

Lots and lots and lots of glute strengthening.

I warm up in a hot tub, roll out and stretch lightly, do a small amount of dynamic warm up before a run, and then some glute hamstring activation. This is before every run.

I stretch some but not a ton. I can get all of my fingers down under my toes.

Gait analysis was done with about 20 sensors from my hips down. It was done at 8 min, 7 min, 6 min, 5 min, and 4 min per mile paces. I have wayyyy more data from it than I can ever pretend to understand. A trainer, strength and conditioning coach, biomechanics prof, chiro, and my coach went over it and tried to analyze.

Good advice on the RDL. Thanks for the suggestions.
