Subject: hip flexor soreness
I'm a fairly new runner - a few 5ks and a sprint tri last summer. I'm currently following a training plan for an OLY next summer.
My issue is that i always get hip flexor soreness when running since i started focusing on short strides / quick cadence. After about a mile or so it get sore right where the leg meets the hip on the front.
Is there anything I can do to help this? Could running form be part of the issue? Or maybe it's just because i'm somewhat new and these muscles just need to strengthen more.
What do you guys think?

I have had hip flexor pain on and off the last two years. This morning I really aggravated it. I've been stretching to get it to go down, but I'm just worried that it's going to get worse again.

Groin pain in athletes has a long differential diagnosis. As a triathlete, and the area you are describing, you are more likely to have a strain of the iliopsoas, or hip flexor.

The common conditions seen would be: a femoral neck stress fracture, a hip flexor tendonitis, or a hip joint cartilage problem such as a labral tear or arthritis of the hip joint.
