I'm back to thinking that the adductor work in the gym may indeed be at least one key to avoiding psoas irritation. When I have gone too long w/o those workouts, I can feel it right away in the a strong twinge in my psoas. If I go easy on the first few reps, it seems to re-position my psoas (is that my imagination??) and then further reps are no problem. And, when I run the next day, there's no irritation. Abductor work helps the medial glutes which are the power in running, though, so it seems to be a fine balance needed, between these. I've had this experience before, years ago, that associated to me the adductors work in the gym with "repositioning" my psoas for the good. And then later, being back to the same troubles. For now, I'm going to assume that I need to keep doing such work regularly but not go extreme. I've been having some good long runs now w/o psoas irritation, on the trail and to/from the beach.One being the Bike Swap 10 mile run on West Ridge on June 30, picture below.
