First run

[livergirl66]

Hi just completed my first couch to 5k. I’m relatively fit and go the gym- whilst I was running I started getting shooting pains in my left hip? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

I don't know what your specific complaint is but please take it as a warning............the impact of running is something that takes your body many months to get used to, regardless of your fitness in other areas, so take it nice and easy, take your rest days, relax and enjoy it.

There is a link in the guide to basic sports injuries and appropriate treatment.

Take care and enjoy your journey.
