1-17 km: Good. Average pace was roughly between 5:10 and 5:15 min/km.
18-22 km: Not best. Average pace about 5:40 min/km. I have tried to think different reasons for this hurting hip, but again, it just needs heavy stretching.
Tip: I found a way how to keep running even hip begins to sense strained: do longer steps and run with your hip by twisting it (disclaimer: not a medical advice). My discover helped that much, that instead of two stars I gave free for this run!
Do you have your own stretching and running tips for a strained hip?
- Relatively good run for the first 17 kilometers. I was feeling good and hip didn't bother.
- Relatively inconvenient for the last four kilometers. Still strained hip. It needs some heavy stretching.

- Almost as fast as the fasted speed so far.
- Quite a strong feeling while running, but not near the best.
- Wouldn't be able to run longer because hip said so.

It’s so delight to run when running feels easy and light even with a modest speed. Nice!
- Fun and easy to run!
- Still hip hurting, not worse, nor better either

5 km: Running was very easy and speed was OK. Hip started to bother again. I was about to run about 15 km, but I realized I have to make it shorter.
10 km: I should have had run still one kilometer more, but I really had to stop because of a hip, stop the timer and walk the rest.
- Running was very easy before the problem in a hip.
- Sad weather, calm though.

I got some kind of hip strain on Thursday and it still bothered a little. That’s why I run a little shorter route and in the woods to get some variation to the steps.
- Nice weather.
- Feeling very good.
- Hip strain still bothered a little.

I was about run something 15 kilometers, but because I felt so good and the average speed was not bad, I ended up running a half marathon. Time was good, but during the last two kilometers I got some kind of a hip strain.

I didn’t feel like running a long run because I didn’t eat or drink enough beforehand. So, I run a quarter marathon in a road and in the woods.
- Nice and different route.

Running a route in the woods. That’s why average speed is quite low, but quite nice. It was getting dark already, but I’m familiar with the route.
I got a muscle strain on the shoulder couple weeks ago, and I run two half marathons with that – also the fastest one. Sure that wasn’t so vise and that’s why I kept a little pause, but no it’s OK.
