Ouch! Hope that eases up soon 😊 My right hip causes me problems too sometimes - touch wood, it's not been as bad since doing this... 😳 I'm making sure I do the post run stretches now as well πŸ˜‡ I'm gonna see how I go with these longer runs and take an extra rest day if I need to πŸ€— Happy running tomorrow! πŸ™Œ

Thank you 😊 Yes, it’s my right hip too. It’s the running that gets to it and it’s worse if I run outside, particularly with these longer runs. I’m hoping it will ease as my muscles get stronger. In the meantime it’s two days of rest days with stretching and the Strength & Flex podcasts. I’ll probably treat myself to a gait analysis once I’ve done this too (probably should do it now but I’ve spent a fortune on running clothes already πŸ˜†). Great to hear your running is helping your hip, fingers crossed it’s helping to make them stronger. Good luck for your next run πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done! I actually took 3 days rest as feeling unwell but then did this run yesterday and actually enjoyed it. I also find music helps..plus having dog with me πŸ• πŸ€—

Well done you!! Yes it's the music that gets me through it πŸ€— Would love to run with my dogs - but they both have issues (rescue dogs) and can't go off the lead πŸ™„
