Hello and some advice needed

[Conniemay]

Hello

I am 46 and have not run since I left school i am so proud of myself that I have got to week 7 however i have a very painful hip and so am going to have a rest until it is better. When I am recovered which I hope is very soon as I am lovely my running what week should start from again?

Any advice would be very welcome.

Thank you

Welcome to the forum. How much fitness you lose depends on how long your recovery takes.

Also, may I suggest that you consider seeing your GP or a physio if the pain hasn't got better in a couple of days.

No matter how long you are out, I would make your first run an exploratory one. Just go out and run, see how far you get - only then will you know how you are.

Thanks WhatsApp. I am seeing my chiro on fri and it is an recurrent pain so hopefully he will fix me. Fingers crossed

I didn’t get as far as week 7 my hip also started to hurt

I have now started to use a foam roller and it has helped , It’s known as

Poor mans massage,

Not saying any of this will help you
