I am a running novice and have only been running since June on this year. I ran my first 1/2 marathon two weeks ago but struggled at the end. I have scoliosis and my right hip is higher than the left. I think this makes me pronate my right foot and I cannot shake my right hamstring, gluteal, and calf tightness when I run.

Any advice would be welcome.
TIA.

The pronation can certainly be caused by the tight TFL on your ride side, as hip rotation is likely causing it.

Normally, I'd have you roll/smash/stretch alone but, given your scoliosis, I'd approve of using stability or motion control shoes to help.

Open up those hips and focus on toes forward for short runs - but consider gearing up on longer runs shoe-wise.
