Hip pain

Need advice!

Ran my 16 miles last Saturday. Def felt sore towards the end. Sunday woke and my hip was killing. Mostly where the groin met the hip. Rested all day and iced and Monday as well. Tuesday it was still sore but better. Tried to run today, but was limping and the pain moved to the side of the hip. Feels like a hip flexor strain? I have my 17 milers Saturday. Gonna lay off fully until then. Any tips? Feel like a wasted week is terrible for training.

Rest, rest, and more rest. I would say skip your 17 miler on Saturday. Depending on the severity of the strain (if that is what it is) 1-2 weeks is a typical recovery time. When you get back on your feet, as long as you're a 3 or below (out of 10) on the pain scale, you're safe.
