Sainsburys / Pifko / Smallfurry - thanks all. Regarding all your points:
I've wanted new shoes since I started running again so may spunk some cash on a shiny new pair - is getting a gait analysis worthwhile? Running shoes, like cycling shoes, are ridiculously expensive though.
I think my core is pretty strong, I do a lot of cycling and go to the gym, so don't think there's an issue there.
I do have a naturally very long stride as I'm pretty lanky, so may need to think about shortening it - don't really know how to change something that comes so naturally though!
GP didn't have a clue what it was when I got the same problem last time.
Looking at pics of the muscles in the groin, I think it may be the pectineus or adductor longus or brevis.
I don't think it's a hip flexor thing - the pain is lower down in my core / groin that the internet tells me it should be...
Injuries suck.
