I think the stairmaster is helping the hip. Hopefully I won't have to do it much longer.
PM: 3.25 miles on treadmill then hip exercises. Making progress.
Stairmaster Miles: 11.25
Rowing Machine Miles: 1.00

Dude, 12.25 miles on the stairmaster! You are dedicated. It's tough to do that many miles on a treadmill. I'm sure your hip crosstraining will pay off. Keep up the good work. Hope you're feeling up to a good 20-mile run this Saturday in AF--the newly forming Utah CC team will not be complete without you :-)

Depending on the start time, earlier the better, I think I will make it. Looking forward to it!

I noticed you have hip issues. I've been dealing with weak hip flexors and recently saw my PT about how I could strengthen them. What exercises are you doing?

Toby, My main problem is the weakness in my hip abductors. So I have been doing hamstring curls, calf raises, clamshells (with and without a band), using the hip abductor machine, side planks, lunges, and one leg flat planks. My PT also recommend some plyometrics exercises such and one leg hops but I can't do many of them. I think the exercises for hip flexors would be more like this

Are your exercises helping?

Something I found to help the adductors and abductors is using the pulley system at the gym. I lower the "arms" to the ground and stick my foot in the "handle". I pull the pulley to the left/right/front/back. I can only do 15/20lbs at a time and my hips are usually very sore the next day!
My PT has been having me do glute strengthening exercises. Line backer,skiers, stability stuff and different kind of lunges. He told me I need to work on my different planes of motion. I have a strong front/back from running, but need to work on my side/side.
I found this website to be very helpful with the myrtle exercises:
Also look up his lunge matrix - that has been super helpful.
