Running is not just a hobby or a way of getting fit it's a lifeline especially during the school holidays. Thank you so much, it is so nice not to feel alone!

Piriformis often describes a sciatica like syndrome where the damaged muscle causes nerve irritation and pain down the back of the leg. You probably just have a torn/damaged muscle. Brufen, ice, stretch.
