So yesterday I ran W8 R2 and was planning R3 tomorrow. I'm really pleased I've got this far and simply will not give up!!!
But.
Right hip was extremely painful towards the end of yesterday's 28 minutes and is still pretty sore today. I'm not sure what it is but it's not new, I've always had hip pain when I walk really long distances and can't usually go more than 10miles. Feels more bony than muscular but I'm not an expert.
So. New plan. I don't want to make things worse by pushing myself to run tomorrow if it's still painful but it's clear I need to do something so I'm going to swim today and will try some Pilates if I can tomorrow. Also the exercises that OldFloss recommended! Then perhaps I'll go for W8 R3 Monday or Tuesday and see how it goes.
I will not give up!!

Hope so. I've just read your post from yesterday- hope your shins feel better soon. I guess an extra rest day or two might help both of us. Hopefully. I'm assuming my body just needs to get used to the new regime!
Poor you! Frustrating times, but definitely the right approach. Not giving up, rather ensuring you can continue to the end and beyond.
My thighs have been niggling and not recovering with a one day gap but getting worse each time. I only have one run to go but am leaving three or four days gap this time to make sure it has a time to recover before any real damage is done. Small wait in the grand scheme of things
Exactly as you say - small wait in the grand scheme of things. Fighting my natural impatience!! Hope the last run for you goes well, I'm sure it will!!
You are doing great! I was having some hip pain and got gait assessed and new trainers and not had any problems. i was going to go out today but might be too hot now!
