I was a marathon runner till 1997 and require new hip joint.Have organised Lochaber marathon since 1993 Scotland`s premier marathon

I am interested in finding out more about stretches that runners should do particulay for the hip bone muscle area and outer thigh band.

Ran my first marathon (FLM) in 2005 in 4:06 aim to get below 4hrs sometime in the next few years before my hips give out!

i had a hip replacement in 2003 and run because i can and couldnt before. I did the great north run and it is my biggest personal achievement.

I enjoy hill walking, eating far too many bad foods. I love films, computers, real music (not pop/rnb/hip-hop) and my 6 year old son.

Been injured since 13 May 05 - overzealous physio did hip manipulation and haven't been able to run since then in any particular meaningful way.

I have restarted running fairly recently, having been a regular runner in the past. Several injuries and a long-standing hip problem had ruled out running for the last few years.

I loved running on the road but after discovering I had arthritis in my hip was relegated to the treadmill. I do the odd run on the road as there is nothine like it.

Currently, suffering from hip probs (bursitis) so not running as much as I would like and if anyone has any good advice on prevention and cures for this ailment, please let me know.

Had a hip replacement 6 months ago and am getting back into running but just as a recreational runner. Ran around 200 races between 1987 and 1999 before I got osteoarthritis.
