Right now, my hips ache. Not just when I’m running, not just after I run, but pretty much all the time. It’s not a debilitating pain, just a constant reminder that my 43 year old body is not as young as it used to be. I take ibruprofen, use icy hot, and have even resorted to -gasp- taking a few days off to try and help the situation. Unfortunately, aches, pains, black toes and various other injuries are all part of running. You are a lucky person indeed if you survive training for a long distance totally unscathed. What are the tried and true remedies for your injuries/aches and pains?

What I found to stop all the pain is learning how to run correctly. Learning to stride right is the most important aspect of running.
