So by issues, you mean your hips hurt when you run?


They can give me a little trouble, yes.

I think they're a result of squats in the gym and the leg press. Or, they could just be getting old.

But if I take it slow and comfortable when I do a 5k or a 10k, then I have far less issues. More a comfortable jog without urgency seems to suit me best.

EDIT -- After all, I do running for health and enjoyment, not to prove anything to myself. I just like the energy of a 10k. It's a fun and healthy recreational activity for me, but I'm not serious about it. I see people and laugh with friends, and get a shirt and enjoy the outdoors. That's what it is for me now.

Start doing some hip flexor stretches in the morning and evening (as well as part of your stretching routine when you lift). It should help open up your hips and at maybe give some relief.

Here's a few to start...

Never stretch before you run, that will help the hip pain immensely, especially hip flexors hamstrings and knees. Just run the first 1/2 mile slow to warm up.
