    I did speedwork on Friday and Saturday, took sunday off, and just jogged a bit this morning, but my left hip is really hurting. It only hurts if I haven't moved in a while, like after sitting. I got new shoes like four weeks ago, so shoes isn't the problem. I researched a little, and it say that hip flexor pain can erupt from speedwork, so that's probably the cause. Has anybody else had this problem, and if so, what did you do? XC starts soon, and I really don't want to start injured. thx

    I had the same problem.  Several days after I did speedwork outs my right hip hurt bad.  I tried working it out for a month or so.  Ran a half marathon with it bothering me.  Tried doing some different core strength exercises to help.  Sorry to say, the only thing that helped was to completely stop running for two months.  I am back running now, no pain.  I take my speedwork slower without as much intensity until I feel I can push myself.
