OK Experts...why are my legs aching like an achy thing again after such a short run?

Depends on loads of stuff - pace of run, general health, stiffness before you went out...depends if its muscle stiffness or lactic acid or waste products you see

If mine are bad (and they get really stiff!) I get in the bath and stretch them once they are warm and rest the next day...

Ok run I did on Friday was very hilly and quick pace (for me anyway :rotfl:) and saturday was very stiff, tried to do a recovery run but gave up after 3 miles as it was painful. Didn't run sunday or Monday today legs absolutely fine, half way around today could feel my thighs starting to hurt. Did 5 miles and it was slow again.

never had this amount of stiffness before...its almost as bad as after the LM

Hmmm it sounds like you are still stiff from Friday - I know it sounds odd but sometimes I am stiff for a week if I havent bashed the pace for a while (which is part of why I run a weekly parkrun)...

It should be better tomorrow if you go out and do a short slow one...but if not take a few more days off and see how you are (you might be coming down with something rather than running stiff if that makes sense)...in the meantime a bath should help along with some gentle walking.

Thanks...6 slow miles to do tomorrow but a hot bath I shall have tonight. I do feel a bit under the weather so maybe Im sickening for something grrr

That went better than expected this morning. I thought that my legs would be tired from Sundays LSR but they seem to have recovered remarkably well so it's happy, happy in Simply Land.

Well done on the run ev - enjoy a well deserved rest tomorrow.

Hope the runs go well julie and red.

Sorry to hear a few peeps are feeling under the weather - wishing you all speedy recoveries.

Nice running Simply

Shows you are recovering well after long runs that would have exhausted you previously
