Hip injury?

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

I'm doing C25K and I'm.on week 5.Ive noticed my right hip hurting when I walk but feels like it's badly bruised iykwim rather than the bone that's in pain.Could this be running related or coincidence?

You should stop running and see your GP. Simililar happened to me and it was hip tendinopathy. If you have the same, running is not good for it, but swimming and cycling is. You do need to ask your GP as it could be a number of things.

I had bursitis in the hip, running causes many problems! Go see your doctor first and go from there.

Thanks

Have you been doing really thorough warms up before and stretches after exercise?

Foam rolling muscles is a good idea too (though possibly not while in pain!) - look up a few videos on YouTube and see what they suggest.
