Whether it is a lactic acid buildup or just microtearing of the muscles, I think being sore it almost impossible to avoid. I guess as runners we just cope the best we can and revel in the fact that there are endorphins to make it hurt just a little less.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your running, BobBill Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303668807091595615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18674315.post-75297077703665552008-05-02T15:55:00.000-04:002008-05-02T15:55:00.000-04:00definitely core work is key...when I first started...definitely core work is key...when I first started running, the hip I had fractured years ago bothered me terribly...<BR/><BR/>hip flexor stretches, core work and the odd advil work wonders....<BR/><BR/>good luck!!Lily on the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275939535831908513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18674315.post-59188334800783608742008-05-02T10:30:00.000-04:002008-05-02T10:30:00.000-04:00I also am a big believer in core strength.

I suspect that as I begin to tire I compensate by working those muscles harder. <BR/><BR/>Are you doing any core exercises? I found that working on my core made me a stronger runner overall and helped with the sore hips. Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
