Hurting after running?

Question

okay i was just practicing my 40. after doing that alot i rested for 20 minutes and tried it again. this time my legs were hurting a lot so my time decreased. my legs hurt now but should i rest for the rest of the day

Answer 1

They could just be really sore. It would help to run a little bit and stretch a lot. I found that sitting in a tub full of ice water works very well.

You really don't have to take the whole day off. Just decrease your normal work out.

Answer 2

This could be muscle strain (an example only).  I would recommend resting for the rest of the day and also the next day.
