had hip soreness for the last few years when running. going back to the gym to do some lifting and try to improve my range of motion when I'm not running seems to have improved things a lot. wfh for 2yrs hadn't helped things - cardio is still decent but I feel more fragile than I was.
As ^, wouldn't necessarily focus on the post run stretching, but find which bit is tight or has poor range of motion and work on that for 15mins a day when you're not running. hopefully the result will be that when you do run you're not just aggravating things
duncs

It's just so fucking frustrating. I've recently got back into running and have a lovely flat 3-mile route that I can take. I've been doing that once or twice a week for the last month or so followed each time by some fairly comprehensive stretching. The problem is that it just progressively tightens up my right ITB to the point where it won't relax in the 2-3 days between runs and causes me lateral knee pain for cycling and other everyday shit like climbing down stairs. It's getting to the point where it's just not worth it if I have to follow every single run with an hour of stretching plus half an hour of roller work/massage every day in between. sigh
