Severe hip pain after Week9 R1

I’m new to this community and after taking up to C5K I’ve really got into it - but on my last week, first run I experienced some hip paid on my left side down what I can describe as the inside front - I did another run and only managed half of it and had to be picked up because it was sooo painful - not ran since, had real difficulty walking and now almost 2 weeks later I’ve still got pain in my left hip, not at the front - towards the side/back but inside still. I’m missing my runs and really want to get back to it.

What can I do to speed up recovery - I’m wondering if not stretching is not a good idea as per the app!

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

It sounds like you are in severe pain, so I would suggest that you consult your GP or physio.

Enjoy your journey.
