I finished week 9, run 2 yesterday, and felt very pleased with myself, and great, until yesterday evening. I then developed this really sharp pain in my right hip/groin, which suddenly comes on in certain positions. It's maddening, I had planned to do the last run tomorrow and then go and celebrate with my teenagers who have also just finished the program. I suppose I'll have to postpone this. does anyone have any ideas?
One more run to to and hip hurting!: I finished... - Couch to 5K
One more run to to and hip hurting!
Well done on the run. Sorry but I don't know what could be causing the pain. Does it feel like muscle pain?
Poor you!
Advice tends to be that if the pain is severe, you should see your GP straight away. If not severe, stop running and get it checked by a GP or physiotherapist if the pain doesn’t go away after a week. They can also recommend stretches or exercises to help you recover.
I suffered from a dull ache in the hip...but kept going until graduation (now banned from running for the foreseeable future... doctor's orders, though other forms of exercise OK).
I hope the pain subsides and you can get back out there.
Extra rest day until it goes. Don't try to run just to complete the course. Wait until you are feeling better. Good luck for your graduation
