Why do my legs sometimes feel prickly right after I stop running?

Question

Sometimes after I stop running it feels like I'm being poked in my legs for about ten seconds. Can I do something to make it stop?

Answer 1

if you start running again, the lactic acid has seeped in your muscles.

Answer 2

after you finish running, youh should put your legs up and let all the lactid acid drain from your legs. this stops the "prickly" feeling.
