I have this pain on my left glute now, feels like a light strain. It started sometime previous week, went away, now that i run and redid lunges it aggravated. I am having some thoughts/fears that it may the be the spinal disc again, maybe it is herniating to the left side messing with some nerves. But i have no back pain at all, it has to be muscular. What i am saying is that the spine thing, even as a background or a subliminal thought is affecting my current training. Hope it doesn't screw it.

Yeah i've experienced that before. Try stretching hip flexors, when they're tight they'll cause it. If you're running check your cadence, if you're overstriding then it will cause it also, especially if you're reaching fatigue during your running (exacerbated i find if you do running after lifting) . Those two three things if you become cognisant of should help. Also get a TENS unit, it's probably my best friend and i use mine every day. Would not be able to train normally without my nightly back massage. Im actually having one right now as i type this message, ha.

Thanks for the insight maxent. I still don't dig the resistance thing. I mean I understand it and it makes sense, but it is different type of resistance. You can't make up wind resistance on your torso by increasing incline. You are no longer running, you are doing hill run, actually changing the sport you are doing to keep the needed effort over a given time with a given speed the same. On the other hand maybe 1% is too little to change the mechanics so it's just accurate. Not to mention i shouldn't argue about that since the actual running i do outside has more intense uphill-downhill sections. Anyway, i use the treadmill just to get some cardio in while the weather is bad, it is not actually running training, plus my speed is currently way below the threshold that would make wind resistance accountable, so it doesn't really matter, discussion is academic

Very strong everywhere. Getting 'aware' that my back is strong now. Feeling more and more confident day by day to let power flow through it, not sure i am describing it right, hope you get it.
Still, gonna stick with the plan, although the temptation to try more intense thing is growing huge. Doing this thing im doing 3 more weeks, then i go skiing, then i re-eavaluate.

greats news that you're feeling more confident though, that's a sign things are def healing/strengthening up.
