That can be an overuse thing, putting too much load through it over too short a time - I pulled my abductor in March and it's been quite a slow process to get back to fitness. Some of this was lack of gym and pool access. wont just be that muscle though but glutes, lower back, hammies and calfs all need attention.
Strength work:
Sumo deadlift focussing on keeping feet and knees out
Single leg reverse lunge (Ideally band around your leading leg to add tension)
Leg press machine with knees and feet angled out - Heavy.
Leg press jumps - light load and jump up and down on the machine, feels weird, works well.
Hip abuction machine - as heavy as you can go
hip abduction machine - isometric for 30-40 secs (basically make it too heavy to move and just hold a push against it)Adonis Harrison Jnr has also done some posts on hip mobility which are well worth looking at on Instagram.

You can do a lot of work to strengthen the hip abductor with a mini band. My physio has me doing it at the moment. Also hockey ball rolling the area, activation exercises (also mini band). Easy to do Infront of the telly.

Struggling with hip ache again, in the adductor muscle, don’t think I’m stretching properly either…
Is this common problem that goes away if I keep up with it? because I feel my body isn’t used to running, yet.
