I'm doing summer base mileage right now, about 50 mpw usually around 6:30-6:00 pace with one tempo and one long a week. I'm doing all the stretching I'm supposed to be but my god damn groin and adductors are really sore or overworked or something and I'm concerned i might be in danger of straining something. What the heck is causing this? Muscle imbalance? Poor form? any input is appreciated
your stretching may be overworking these muscles. Something to consider.
Could be osteitis pubis. Are you hurting on both sides?
Could be referred tightness/pain from any of the lower back, glute, or hip flexor regions (it was for me when I had shocking tight adductors & groin). Well worth stretching those areas and if you have a foam roller or trigger point ball see if you have any knots in there that need loosening up.
Anything close to sprinting mixed into your workouts? That could do it.

Chilling the crap out and quitting being so angry might be beneficial.

What brand/model shoe do you wear?
I have the same problem... Core and hip mobility helps.
