I seem to have lost it ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜žI managed 2 runs this week with a good one on Monday but I seem to be easily talked out of running at the moment. My hips are niggling and Iโ€™m frightened itโ€™s my arthritis flaring up. Was told 10 years ago I would need new hips soon and so far Iโ€™ve managed to put it off but the niggles are there again. Iโ€™m reluctant to go to drs in case he says the time has come. Does anyone run with new hips all advice welcome. โ˜น๏ธโ˜น๏ธโ˜น๏ธ

Oh Scruff55 don't worry. 2 runs in a week is not a lost mojo. You're doing better than some of us. I bet running has helped to keep your arthritis at bay - I think its helped mine but I find there is a balance between the benefit of regular running and the disadvantage of overdoing it (too often or too far). However saying all that, if you need new hips, probably best to get your name on the very long waiting list. I do know of someone who runs post hip replacement but it's a long post op recovery.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ so much. I just feel like I am getting into it slowly getting a bit fitter and maybe even enjoying the odd run. But maybe youโ€™re right and I need to bite the bullet and get on that long list ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

You can keep going while you wait, and you can keep going afterwards without hip pain. You may just have to modify your ambition for a while. In the meantime keep going. Your mojo is still there - it's just worried ๐Ÿ˜‰

Low drop shoes like Hoka could help your hip issues.

What are you currently wearing and whatโ€™s the drop?

2 runs is brilliant. You e been building up fantastic supportive muscles with all your running which will be take some of the pressure off your hips. Some gentle stretches and a short slow run to restore your mojo. Dont panic about seeing your doctor, you may be surprised what they say especially if they don't know about all your running. Happy running ๐Ÿค—

Am doing some stretches so will just take it easy when I go running ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Scruff, you are doing so well. Your mojo is hanging in there, don't you worry. MyMojo got rather too fond of her slippers and has had a really good talking to as a result. Your two runs a week puts me to shame, but I'm now working to remedy that.

If you are in pain I would really suggest you check it out sooner rather than later, as leaving things often makes it worse. Hopefully it won't be as bad as you fear and some rest of physio exercise may help. Good luck. ๐Ÿค—

Keep positive Scruff. You will come through this. Try some strengthening exercises such as Pilates and yoga for flexibility. Check out Strength and Flex for some advice too xx
