If my boyfriend gave me a massage on my legs, would the aching go away?
It’s my first week, second run.. I got to say that after my run on Wednesday, my legs haven’t stopped feeling stiff and achey. It didn’t stop me from having my scheduled run today but I am dreading the stiff feeling tomorrow. Do massages help or will it eventually stop as I do more running?
Do some gentle stretching after your run. That really helps. And yes it will definitely get easier! Good luck and well done on what you have done so far!
Foam rollers are cheap and effective too. Also make sure you’re drinking loads of water the day before running as that can massively impact tired and achey legs. Oh and ibuprofen helps 🤣
Read the post for Newbies... do the post run stretches ....and know that aches and pains are normal at the start of this..It is very very early days...
