Sorry that you are still having a lot of pain running. My suggestion would be to try to catch the 8 or 9 minute guy on 75% of your runs, and ride your bike some. You are still young, your body is just tired and thrashed and probably needs a reset. Last time I ran 20 that fast was downhill in a marathon when I did a personal best. Don't get down on yourself, you are a machine.

Clyde, I know we just love to run and get out there and crank it out. But I agree with Ryan (and I bet most everyone else on here)... Give yourself a break. You don't need to shut it down, but let your body rest. I have cut back a lot in the last two years and am running the best I ever have. When it is time to rip it up in training, do it! But right now let yourself just chill a bit.

Ditto on the last two comments. Cross train and take it easy Clyde you will be better of for it. I know its hard though but you want to be able to run long term and you don't want to have to hang up your shoes for good. Hang in there.

Take it easy my friend. I learned my lesson by pushing and pushing. When your running in pain that's not fun, not fitness, or a benefit for enhancing your performance. It's just running cause you feel you must. I went through some major pain doing this samething and it ruin my performance and improvements. Try to find enjoyment pain-free exercise that doesn't cause the hip pain for now
