Ive recently been having tightness/pain around the glute med /hip rotator area. About three weeks ago I did also start to feel my hamstring mid portion on the same side but this has been ok with easy running. The issue does not feel as though it's the in the upper hamstring tendon more towards the mid glute. Any advice please? (34:30)

What might be causing the outer side of my heel to feel sore at the start of a run? It’s not red, swollen or sore to press and I’ve seen therapists various who have said there is nothing anatomical of concern, so I’m at a loss. There is slightly more wear on my trainer heel in the area so it may just be how I run, but any suggestions to ease it are welcome. (41:50)

I've been having alot of lower back pain in the lower lumbar spine and the Doctor and a Chiropractor have both said it is wear and tear and there is not much you can do for that and I need to manage it. It seems to get worse on my longer runs (over 10 miles). Is there any other advice you can give me on what I should do/not do in terms of strength work and any exercises/stretching. I'm using the Voltarol gel when I get discomfort and trying not to take painkillers, however they do relieve the pain. (44:45)
