I went for a longer than usual jog, now, the day after, my ribs hurt?

Question

I usually go for 15 min jogs or so, but the other day i upt it to a 40 min jog. My legs are a little sore today, which is understandable, but my lower ribs are sensitive to the touch. coughing doesnt affect it, but getting out of the shower and using a towel, or just scratching my skin and going over the 2 parts it hurts. What is this from?

Answer 1

the muscles in between ribs are responsible for breathing and when u run they contract strongly and more often...

- so when u ran more than they are used to, they just cramped... the diaphragm muscle also did cramp

dont worry they will get back to normal in a day or to

Answer 2

Rest for a couple of days, but be sure to get back out and running! Next time, stretch plenty before you go on your long run. Runner's World has some great advice and techniques on stretching: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,71...
