W7R3 - really painful left hip.

Hi, completed this run yesterday but now have a pain in my left hip which is making me limp, and the pain is excruciating when I try to go upstairs.

Am gutted as have completed all the other runs with no ill effects at all.

Any advice please?

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.

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

and includes advice on dealing with injury, stretching after every run, strengthening exercises and minimising impact, all of which will help.

If it persists, see a physio.

Enjoy your journey.
