Tightening of muscles in the glutimus maximus?

[Schmeeley71]

Does anyone experience a tightening of the buttock muscles when running.

My sciatic nerve is quite tight and can be painful in one leg. I have felt what feels like the muscles tightening in my right buttock a couple of times when running.

This needs sorting... there are exercises you can use to relieve problems. Make sure you warm up really well and stretch after each and every run... After having a trapped sciatic nerve, which impacts on the Piriformis..I am very cautious.
