Hi, I’m on week nine, and after runs have been feeling some discomfort in my leg joints. I notice it intermittently for maybe a day or so.
PI always avoided running, thinking it must be bad on the joints, is what I’m describing normal, and can just be ignored…?
The obvious question is, which joints? How long ago did the feeling start?
Bear in mind that we're just informed amateurs here. For proper medical advice you'd be wanting to see your doctor or a physio.
Some amount of adaptation will happen. You can't go from the idleness of the couch to running 30 minutes every other day in just over two months without something complaining.
It's quite common to get slightly sore knees and calves at the start, but that should ease over time. Getting mild muscle soreness many hours after exercise is also common. (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness: DOMS)
But if the discomfort doesn't go away you should definitely consult the medical professionals.
Same for me. It’s the increased workload for me. It’s improving with time. I’m finding that a thorough warm up is essential. As is rest. Hydration is also a factor. These issues weren’t there before I started to run so it’s easy to find out its source. Don’t ignore it. Monitor it. If it’s in several areas then that’s probably workload. If it’s isolated to a particular area it might be a strain or a minor injury. Others on here will be able to advise you better. You’re at week nine. It’s quite intense. I’m at week 8. Good luck.
Am I doing it right?
