If it starts to really hurt then stop, are you warming up properly?

Hello there. Sorry to hear hips hurt. I am no doctor but live by good stretching. Look up hip flex stretches and see if that helps. Also make sure your trainers have good cushioning as running is a high impact activity. Best wishes

Do you stretch after every run, as recommended in the guide to the plan?

Are you following the advice on minimising impact in the guide to the plan?

Are you wearing good running shoes?
