I went down the route of foam rolling but apart from making it more painful it did nothing to help. The eventual cause (and solution) was nothing to do with the quads but was a tight Ilioacaral joint that was causing leg mobility problems. Some physio, needling and home stretching put it right (as did lots of other things like not running through the pain, changing shoes and so on).Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05739196746383254321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-18567496773528793102016-08-04T11:49:13.196+01:002016-08-04T11:49:13.196+01:00Recovery from hard sessions does take longer as on...Recovery from hard sessions does take longer as one ages.

Not saying you're getting old or anything ;-)Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.com
