Sore hips

[Fatnomore]

Hi everyone i have just started the podcast I did run two of week two today. I have noticed that the day after a run I have got really sore hip joints. How do I get my hips to stop hurting

When I had a bit of hip pain, I added the "hip hike" from the page below to my post run stretches. Haven't had any hip pain since.

Thanks for that link. Will give that ago as it is often my hips that become sore.

I got bursitis in the hips after I had completed the podcasts. I think I got too enthusiastic! A physiotherapist gave me strengthening excercises including sideways leg lifts and clams. After a few weeks I started again at week one. It was so much easier the second time! That made me think that I should have taken the whole programme much more slowly to build up strength. The point is to get out there for 30 minutes three time a week. Don't worry if you repeat weeks and go very slowly. It should be light jogging, not running! I recently completed my first Parkrun in a time not a lot faster than brisk walking, but I was so chuffed.
