Sore legs

[Moodymoo]

Does anyone else suffer from sore legs when lying in bed at night.... running for 30 minutes 3 times a week since graduating but my legs are so tired at night even on non running days.. any ideas?

Congratulations on graduating Moodymoo, perhaps if you took two days off rather than one day your legs would not be so sore, or run only two days instead of three, no runners wants to have sore legs at night.

Thanks.... even taking 2 days off they are sore... worse on the second day.. odd.. just getting old I think 😒

Perhaps you could take a week off, age is just a number, I started C25K 5 weeks before I was 72 and graduated 3 weeks after my 72nd birthday 🎂. 😊

Could it be dehydration? Do you drink plenty of water? Plus do you get a bit of salt in your diet, which might help a bit Also do you stretch after running? Or, yes perhaps you're just getting old 😀

Stretching might be the solution... I’ll give it a try... thank you

Nothing to do with age, as said, have a good break, enough water and stretching..😊

Are you running all runs at the same pace? Try slowing two of them down.

[Moodymoo in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I am.... I’m slow anyway... think if I go any slower I’d stop.. 😂😂😂😂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Moodymoo]

I hear that... maybe shorten a run then and go quicker... see how fast you can do 1k or 2k.

[Moodymoo in reply to UnfitNoMore]

That sounds like a good idea... I’ll give that a go in the morning.. thank you
