I am avoiding the following shoes when i do my runs, regardless of distance and pace at the moment
- NB Fuelcell Rebel v4
- PUMA DN2
- ADIDAS AP3
BMAI必迈, BROOKS, 乔丹, SAUCONY, XTEP特步 are generally fine for me.

My main issue is not so much about stability/motion control. It's the Talus area, when midsole is too soft, i will feel the Tibia sinks downwards which makes my ankle feel super uncomfortable. Hence, only firmer midsoles are suitable for me. I don't really know how to explain it better at the moment.
Ankle stability issue due to sprains can be protected via ankle guard. But i do suspect due to weaker tendons and ligaments around my ankle after sprain, softer midsole allows more impact between horizontal and vertical part of my ankle.

Really can feel the tibia bone push into the ankle? Never experience it or could I imagine what kind of injury is that. I never had issue with my ankle, not even when I did trails runs regularly last time in normal running shoes. Vaporfly was the first time I had the ankle pain.
You issue doesn't sound like a common problem, hope you find your solution. The general guide of regressing your mileage and load and slowly built back over time usually work if mobility and pain level is not an issue.

How to cure hip soreness fast

Hip or lower back? Hip is just bone right? Lower back involves glute muscle which can be strengthened.

For hip, I don't know how.

Since you got time, visit those sport therapist for deep tissue massage, then ask them what exercise can you do for that area.

Wah, pay $100 to get tortured. Make sure the therapist has a sound proof room, else very pai say,

 

[Jeremy1]

Bro, I also want to know.
For me, I let it heal itself, need at least 2 days.

For me also at least 2 days but that only applied if I don't run for the next 2 days

This one, 5 second, pain gone .

Take a break after your long run. After my 15k run, I took 1 day rest. Then did a 8k slow run after the rest day. Today, also take a rest.

I run 5-6 days but longer mileage on each of those days. End up being a better aerobic runner and also getting the recovery I need. Best of all, no reduction in weekly mileage.

Running

Good to have it for your 10k / 21.1

How to cure hip soreness fast

Try some of these stretches.

https://www.hss.edu/article_hip-flexor-stretch.asp

Getting into this position already give some relief.

Can also google "Hip Flexor stretch". Play around with different stretches. Test which one gives you the best relief.

Then massage with roller or tennis ball. I prefer using those 1kg, 1.5kg dumbells.

I find the action of doing Bulgarian squats give me less tightness at the hip area.

Recently also tried TFL exercises Wuss talked about. Found them pretty helpful too. Thanks Wussie!

I like to strengthen the TFL as well. Use da bands.

This one seems like the TFL.........

Next time slowly strengthen it, just youtube for exercises with bands. Not difficult. Slowly load it up, same as your running.
Need to buy 4 sized bands, the long ones. Get from TB.
If you want, the short bands also can , more convenient.

Did my regular health check 2 weeks back.

Surprisingly my cholesterol way below limit without diet change

Even better compare to the year when i regularly cycle long distance (borderline limit)

Does this mean running better than cycling?

But my weight is still heavier (74) compare to my cycling days (68)

(Value) Is for limit or range reference

Cholesterol 161 (<200)
HDL 72 (>40)
LDL 78 (<100)
triglycerides 55 (<150)
Glucose fasting 97 (75-115)
Glucose 2 hours 101 (<150)

I think different people different reaction bah.
My cholesterol hardly change. Only HDL increased. But ldl and triglycerides just borderline pass for over ten years of running. Total cholesterol still exceed reference, 220 to 230.
Maybe could have been worst if I didn't run coz I really don't watch what I eat. CKT, mcd，kfc all wack.
