Me too I have always suffered from these, it tends to ease slightly as you get more practiced from what I can remember. Suffering at the moment though 😣

Ah bless ya.

They are not the nicest of things and it tends to be only one leg.

I’ve found that mine are worse urging the walk sections rather than the runs. I take smaller steps and slow done a bit, not exactly the brisk walk as suggested but it helps to get through the pain barrier

I started getting hip pain on my second run, turned out it was due to my footwear. I went to a running shop and they watched me move then I got some shoes which literally stopped all that. It’s worth getting good advice and proper running shoes if you don’t already have them I was just in trainers. I hope that you’re pain free soon
