How come during I run, my lungs don't feel so tired and out of breathe, but my legs hurt and are sore?

Question

It seems when I run, my lungs and my chest are fine but my legs are all sore and are slowing me down. Are my legs getting sore from training while my lungs are getting stronger during my run?

Answer 1

I deal with the same thing. Make sure you're taking a rest day to let your muscles rebuild and become stronger. You see, when we run(or even workout) a muscle it breaks down and becomes weaker. But when we take a rest day it helps our muscles rebuild themselves. It helped me to drink more water not just before my runs but all the time to keep my body hydrated so I wouldn't cramp up. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

usually means u have more wind than ur legs have strength, or muscle endurance.  u can correct that by workin out ur legs, strengthening them up so they r strong enough to last longer

Answer 3

your legs are tired and you need to take a day off

but it is also a great sign because it shoes that you have alot of anarobic capacity

Answer 4

Your legs are not getting enough oxygen. They are fighting to breathe. In my opinion I am not a doc. You may need to stretch longer and more thoroughly before you start and do cool down stretches which are different, after you stop. Good luck.

Answer 5

You probably have good like breathing endurance. GOod lung capacity. But your muscle endurance is bad.

YOur muscles get tired easily so work your muscles out at the gym. Do light weights but lots of reps.

Or you might have shin splints.

Usually happens to runners or ppl that play sports.

Talk to a doctor about it.

Answer 6

maybe you didn't stretch or your not running correctly

Answer 7

your stamina is stronger than your leg muscles
