Pain in groins and hips.........help

[Shazzabeats]

I’m new to the community, I’m on week 2 run 2 and my hips and groins are hurting, I really don’t want to stop, has anyone got any tips to help run through the pain?

I get that sometimes when I’ve done a hard trek...it does go but think you should maybe get a chiropractor to have a look at you? ....pain usually means rest ...you can always pick it up again 🤟

All of the other comments plus don't be afraid to go back a week and keep it slow at first. Shorten the stride. Keep at it.

Try slowing your pace a bit and if you can run on grass if poss. I always stretch out afterwards too which helps me.

It depends what you mean by hurting... I have a desk job and I have very tight hip flexors, worse since I’ve been working at home. Stretching really helps
