Sore muscles outer thigh

[Roydonrunner]

Morning guys. I am on 2nd week of consolidation runs. My outer thighs from hip downwards always start hurting when I’m running and after seem to seize up if I sit still too long. I do stretches and warm up 5 min before run and cool down walk and stretches when get back. Any ideas what’s wrong ?

It could be this. I will try. recommended stretches thanks

Are you doing dynamic stretching pre run?

The obvious and not intentionally flippant response is to make sure that you don't sit still for too long.

I do stretches pre run but maybe I need more. It doesn’t take long to seize up when sitting after a run. Unfortunately my job is sitting 8 hours a day I do walk for an hour at lunch time and try to move now and again from desk. I will try more dynamic stretches thanks 🙏

I asked if you did dynamic stretching prior to running. It is not recommended to do static stretching before a run.
