It seems I can walk indefinitely without it being bothered, but a run of any kind, even the simple 40 minute '2 mins run / 1 walk' I tried 2 mornings ago produced that old familiar ache. Not a pull or a tear, just a... pain, and one that hurts a lot for a few hours before subsiding gradually over about 3 days. Annoying.
Might be best to leave the running for a few weeks and then try again. As you get fitter, stronger and lose more weight with your alpine walking, things might start to come together for you on the running front.
Meantime, focus on that P2P ... aim sub 3:40!
