Love your channel and been lurking for years. If I could give one word of feedback, it's that I have trouble hearing what you say sometimes. Perhaps my old ears or that I'm not a native speaker, but I think better microphones and mixing/post processing could make it a lot better.
Great discussion as I'm sure many of us following along have also had hard to deal with injuries that last much longer than they should. Great to see your progress and thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much for this video. These are my favorite videos you make - a running adventure capped off with commentary at the end. ps - the ads or sponsors don't trouble me at all because I'm so grateful for what I get out of watching your channel. 😊
Glad to hear the hip has started to feel more normal again. Hopefully you don't start experiencing hip impingement which is what has plagued me for years. My one piece of advice is to watch exercises such as high knees which can pinch the hip. Deadlifts are also major culprit as are deep squats. You just have to modify the exercises to avoid closing that angle between torso and femur (e.g., partial deadlifts instead of full range deadlifts).
Great to hear your hip is improving! Also, this is really interesting to me as I had the same experience with my right leg. I felt like it just would not function to run properly and I also did a ton of PT and nothing helped. Upon the advice of my PT I went to see a hip surgeon and we all thought I most likely had a labral tear. Following an MRI, we discovered that my hip was fine, however, both the long and short heads of my hamstring attachments had completely torn off of the ischial tuberosity. I was blown away as I literally did not have any pain and do not remember injuring my hamstring. My surgeon thinks that they must have torn off gradually as I was running. I was not a candidate for PRP because the separation between the tendons and the ischial tuberosity was too large so I had hamstring reattachment surgery which was a huge ordeal. However, after all of that, I am happy to report that even though my recovery was extremely slow, it has been 18 months and I can finally run pain-free. I am writing this giant essay in case anyone else has this issue and can benefit from hearing about my experience. Even though the surgery and recovery were tough, it was definitely worth it :)
The Labrum like the Minsicus doesn't really get the blood circulation it needs for the nutrients. Glad your hip is healing and getting activated. Thanks for sharing.
Great news on your hip, but I'd keep your options open. I say sign up for hip transplant anyway, and if you read of some poor soul meeting her end from being flattened by a car while on a run that could be your new hip (provided she had some good run times posted on strava).
Do you carry a map and compass with you in these mountains? Or do you use a Garmin (or other) watch to map your travel? Looks like a wonderful, peaceful place.

Beautiful! I love the pack! I wish I had mountains near me to use one of those. 😆
Thanks for watching!

I am happy with good news! Figuring out issues like this is sometimes very hard and it takes time!
Thank you!
That run looks incredible! 👌 May be a dream of mine to head to Colarado one day. A friend seems to have the same injury 😕 Good to hear your story
continued prayers for you ... blessings ... Hope Christmas was good ... and new year .. you are more than a runner ...

Coach Sandi, big thanks for this video, especially pertinent for me, and hoping you continue to feel better too.

Amazing good news! YAY!

Love the video, you're so strong to be able to run up that mountain
Haha, I also wear the hairband on my elbow 😂
I like your style! 😂

Hips don't lie
Lions must have tons of ligament tears in their ankles but don't get anywhere near gootuber speeds.
How about you getting a job?
Jealousy 😂😂😂
