Legacy Running

Ever feel fine on easy runs, but your hip starts nagging the second speed work or long runs hit the calendar? You’re not broken—and you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact strategy I use with my running clients to figure out why hip pain shows up under higher effort. We’ll walk through four key factors I assess and adjust—so you can start making sense of your symptoms and feel more in control of your training. This isn’t prescriptive advice, just a behind-the-scenes look at how I approach these tricky cases every week.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the 3 key pillars that actually lead to long-term relief from hip pain—especially for runners who feel like they’ve “done all the things” but still can’t stay consistent. You’ll learn how to move through the recovery phases (Discover → Develop → Deploy → Do It Again), why discharge is a lie, and what it really takes to maintain progress once you’re back to running. I dive into how to build a smart running and strength cycle, why strength alone isn’t enough, and what a “rescue plan” looks like when flare-ups happen. This episode is your roadmap to staying out of pain for good.
