dleton.Hmm, thats kind of a hike for you.Whats your training schedule look like since you started running again (mileage increases, total volume per week, etc.)? What shoes are you running in?Well my race is Saturday so Sunday two miles, Monday 4 (avg. 11.67 mph) tonight just went for a casual walk with hubby and dogs. Tomorrow morning I plan 5-6 miles and then take it easy. I bought another pair of ascicsWhat's the model of Asics? Training seems like its your biggest issue. You mileage increases are probably are what are causing your discomfort. Youre not giving your body enough time to adapt to the amount of stress youre throwing at it. How long have you been training for this half?About six weeks though I've ran 20 miles a week for years. I have ran 4-5 times a week for over 30 years. Bad news though, took a easy walk last night with my hubby, my hip started aching. Hurt all night, went for 6 miles this morning, hip and knees are killing me today.

Whats changed in the 6 weeks since you started training for this half? Have you always had hip and knee issues? Were you trying to make mileage increases when you first started training 6 weeks ago?

I've never had knee issues but my right hip has bothered me since having my daughter 23 years ago. It's gotten worse over the years but it has never bothered me while running.
I've always ran about an hour a day and six weeks ago I've tried to increase that time to accommodate the 13.1 miles.
I got new shoes to combat the knee problems, helped tremendously. Tuesday night my hip kept me awake throbbing. I stretched it out well Wednesday morning, ran just under 6 miles (my GPS wasn't working do to a fitbit flex band my daughter bought me) started hurting around mile # 4, made it home, nearly crippled with pain yesterday in hip and both knees. I've stretched it several times and have done yoga this morning, it feels much better but I'm pretty nervous about putting it to work.
Flinch! Thank you
