Do you run outside during the hard and annoying Swedish winter?
Yes I do. Last winter I ran on average three times per week. I remember one time it was a snow storm and I went out running, I met another runner to which I waved and his reaction was "gött å se!" One of the most touchy moments I've had in my running career.

I've started to train really hard and good, I had a really good plan, but unfortunately I managed to injure my self, I strained groin ligaments (at least in that area) on both sides :(

Not always, but it's not because of that, I was deadlifting with lower weights but more energetic, I'm not actually sure anymore. It's that or lying leg curls.

Anyway today I already feel better, but I won't rush to get back to training.

If you got a groin injury from lying leg curls, you weren't doing them right. I think it's a silly exercise anyway. What's up with lower weights deads? How many reps did you do then?

It was over month ago so I don't really remember (still I think it was from deadlifts), however pain is gone and I'm alright. I started to train again, I'm not pushing myself to the limit, but I'm satisfied.

Also I started to train Jiu-jitsu and grappling, and it's damn tough but I like it very much :D

Reverse leg curls are a lot better actually. Leg curls blow. I don't know why anyone would do them, unless he was a bodybuilder.

You for real? :D

I go to the gym because I want to improve my sports performance and leg curls are very ineffective. They even tend to harm normal hamstring function so I stay away from them.

My exact sentiments as well. I only do leg curls cause it was recommended by a therapist because of my knee(I go very light with it using one leg to isolate the quad).
