Running again?

Question

I've recently begun to exercise again by slowly starting on running after three long years of no exercise. I'd like to know if I should do a brisk walk/jog each day, since I am feeling slight soreness from my legs, or should I take a day off and let legs heal for a day before continuing?

Answer 1

Your "soreness" in your legs is acctually an acid  that has built up because of starting to run again.Bikeing will deplete that acid from your legs.Starting out with a walk  then eventually running is good.

You can take a day or two off.

But don't take too many days off day off. Every day you dont run/walk(or whatever you trying to build up to) you lose the days that you did run/walk.Which puts you back to where you started.

And remember STRECH,STRECH, STRECH!

Answer 2

Alternate days running and walking, and walk after running to cool down.  Also stretch well after running.  You will feel some soreness at first because you haven't been exercising for a long time.
