Answer 1

Its Because You Just Started And Your Legs Have To Get Use To It You Should Try Little By Little Then Work Your Way Up As Time Progresses, Just Remember You Should Drink Plenty Of Water And Stretch Before And After  Your Jog...

Answer 2

well

if you run a lot

its a good idea to ice your legs to cool them down

and stretch a lot

before and after running

and also throughout the day

you should also make sure that you have a lot of fluids to keep your legs hydrated during the run

if this doesnt work

maybe try some aleve, the gel ones becuase they work faster

or anyother over the counter drug (not like addictive drugs)

such as aleve, tylenol, or advil

hope it works!

Answer 3

ALWAYS stretch before jogging, and just as importantly stretch afterwards. Also make sure you're jogging in regular increments. Also be positive you have time to "cool down" before you stop activity. Stop jogging 200 yards before your stopping point, or walk 200 yards past it. This will give you time for your pulse to return to normal. You can also stretch before going to bed, and after waking up.

Answer 4

Streatch well before and after jog

Make sure you drink lots of water throughout day

Make sure you are not over pushing yourself

Eat a decent amount of protein

Answer 5

you probably did not drink that much water and you got a cramp this happens when your body does not have that much water and the muscles dehydrate

or your body is starting to get adjusted to the sudden health change and  your muscles are getting better and stuff

Answer 6

stretch before and after running for a long time...

Answer 7

If you started running by using shoes that are designed for cross-training or used for a variety of activities, you must have a running only pair that are designed for that activity, only.

You may need to cut down on the time/distance, as you have done just a little too much. You will be able to build the volume back up in no time....your body may be saying it needs a little break.

Stretch well to loosen up the muscles, not to stretch out to try and set "records" in how far your palms can touch the ground, fingers can curl over toes, etc.

Answer 8

stretch before and after and eat oranges and bannanas like 30 min- hour before you run(prevents your mucsles from cramping up)

Answer 9

Try slowing down and taking come calcium.  I believe calcium will help the pain in your legs.

Answer 10

You should not push yourself, jog with a steady pace that won't tire your body easily. That way, you can go on and on without feeling uncomfortable.

Also, a sigh of soreless is also good in a way. Whenever you feel like your muscles are aching, it is a good sign because you are pushing your body, and it can make you more stronger.

Good luck!

Answer 11

IB profen

stretching right after the run and later on. (also before you run but you know that)

Make sure you have at least a day or two of rest each week

This is normal when you just start running so do not get discouraged and keep going.  And take the IB profen as prescribed.

Answer 13

you ve only been jogging two weeks and in your excitement youve worn your self out. You gotta start little by litle. I had same problem so just start by twice a week for a couple of weeks and three times a week and so on. Dont forget to stretch before and after and on your days half do ALOT of stretching.

Answer 14

You might need some better shoes for jogging.  And

definitely stretch before and after.

Answer 15

When you work out, you rip the strands of muscle so that the grow back close to double the size.  Taking this in mind, try to take brakes between days. E.G.

Day one:  5k jog

Day two:  Wind Sprints

Day three: Endurance jogs.

Day four: rest.

Eat healthily, and stretch all of your muscles before you jog.
