Anyone else suffer from like growing pains in the quads, muscle aches ? Any treatments recommended please ?

Wall squats are good for the quads ageless.

I have been doing wall squats as part of my rehab from injury plan - and my god, in just 9 days I can see a massive difference in my muscles there! My physio has told me to also to foam roll my quads before and after my runs. It’s tricky and very ouchy (eyewateringly so) but helps with aches and pains. Maybe you are a bit tight there?

Maybe I am Sadie. I’ve got a foam roller so will look up how to use it on quads on Utube 😀😀👍

Do! I am rolling out some terrific knots! 😱 Good luck, and stick with it even though it hurts to buggery! 😂

I agree, been doing squats and wall squats for years to build up quads for skiing to protect knees. One PT even got me to do lateral jumps into squats, wouldn't debit now.

It’s funny though, I’ve been running for 18months and never had trouble with my quads until lately. Thanks Grannytobec😀😀

My massage stick is such a boon. Stretching and squats but don't do too many too soon or you'll end up with a sore bum 🤣 (been there!) Work up from say 10 max to start, these days I do 30 or 40 after a run.👍🏻

I will go gently, I have a 10k race tomorrow, ouch again 😀😀
