Pain from an intense running is normal (running fast, running long), but running in general should not be painful. If it is, something needs to change to prevent injuries!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09753977885503823287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-55409376377769100082010-01-20T22:42:40.843-05:002010-01-20T22:42:40.843-05:00umm yeah. #1 i have never been good at but #4 i ca...umm yeah. #1 i have never been good at but #4 i can get down with! otherwise though - good "to do's". rest, stretch, ice, pamper!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720800873803974929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-81076201630921443602010-01-20T22:05:59.581-05:002010-01-20T22:05:59.581-05:00So I think I've told you that I'm doing th...So I think I've told you that I'm doing the same thing...rehabing from a tight hip flexor problem hence; piriformis and it band problems. Everyday I have to run for about 20-30 mins. Then I have a series of stretches and exercises. I'm also seeing a PT so I can work on biomechanics since my stride is off! I think that I'll be at it for a month or so but I'm still running and training. This is not easy but it will get better. I do see changes already!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-40745974888260558272010-01-20T18:09:58.642-05:002010-01-20T18:09:58.642-05:00Don't forget to visit your lovely cousin next ...Don't forget to visit your lovely cousin next time you're in the neighborhood!!!! ;-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707964030138775885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-54467958543967549112010-01-20T11:08:40.350-05:002010-01-20T11:08:40.350-05:00All your tips are right on.

After a few days of little to no running and lots of yoga stretches, my hip pain usually goes away. I also try to increase my calcium intake but I'm not sure if that actually helps or if it just makes me feel better mentally :)<br /><br />I live in NoVA/DC and have been looking for a good sports message therapist as well! I need it mostly for my back pains. Let me know if you find someplace worth trying!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193974484434290551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25824302.post-20248285443944973292010-01-20T08:23:35.952-05:002010-01-20T08:23:35.952-05:00I think you hit the nail on the head there.

So while you're not running, do some ab and lower back strength moves. make the swiss ball your friend.<br /><br />I also hit the elliptical and bike hard. more cross training and more core work, with a continued plan of yoga and stretching, and finally after about 2 months the hip pain just went away. Sure you could fully RICE it up. but hips seem to be different. they just take time.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.com
