So I've been increasing the length of my runs only by a mile or so a week, and went out for a steady 6 miles on Saturday, after about 10 mins my left leg began to hurt, I pushed on until 45 mins It had got so bad I had to stop running and hobble home, I've never wimped out of a run in the year I've been running so I'm really not happy! The pain started in my bum/hip and travelled all the way down the outside of my leg, I came home stretched and it hurt all the next day too (I.e major pain when I walked) it was fine monday(rest day) I did a slow 20 min run tues and it was ok, today I only managed 15mins before it hurt again, anyone had anything similar? Or have any advice pls?

I've had something similar when I've been skimping on stretching post run. Ice tends to help on the area most painful but besides that I just carried on. I moved running to grass rather than road and found that helped a bit.0

Have you tried using a foam roller? This was recommended to me and has made a huge difference.0
