What should I do to lower my legs pain while running?
It’s one of the more common beginner running injuries, At a basic level, what happens when we train and put stress on our bones is that the bones respond to that stress. In much the same way muscles rebuild from training, bones do too. When we run, the tibia or shin bone bends slightly from impact. When we rest after our runs, it’s able to rebuild and get stronger.“The shin bone starts to remodel and get stronger,”For that to happen, though, you have to give your body time to rebuild. So when new runners go out and run too much too quickly—without giving their bones (and muscles) time to recover—the shins become over stressed. Experienced runners are less likely to have this problem, because they’ve slowly built their system up to handle the stress of running.So to reduce your pain in your legs you have to slowly build your endurance and speed!Thanks
How to prevent calf cramps while running?
I'm pretty new at running and lately during cross country practices I've been getting excruciating cramps in both of my calves in the lower back portion of them. the pain is so intense, especially when going up hill, that I have to stop to walk or even just stand still altogether until the pain stops. It's really discouraging because I no I could go much further if it wasn't for the intense pain. I always stretch before I run and I drink pretty much water so I'm guessing this is happening just because I'm new at running. Is this normal for new runners or is something else going on? And how long until it stops? Also, what can I do before hand to prevent the cramping. My calves aren't sore after or before running, only during. Should I use heat or ice? Thanks!
Does weight gain cause calf and shin pain?
I've gained alot of weight since last year and ever since that I have had calf pain whenever I do sports even the least bit of running causes intense pain in my calves. My shins are even worse when I walk to school in the morning I get this pain in my shins and I can't walk at all I have to slow down to get to school. My feet are another problem whenever I play basketball in gym I feel pain on the bottom of my feet and I have to run to the lockeroom and take off my shoes. I'm just wondering can all this pain be caused because I gained alot of weight? If I lose weight will this pain go away?
Outer/Lower calf muscle pain when walking far/fast.?
First, I'm slightly overweight (20-ish pounds) and am not the most active person ever but I have recently started walking hoping to start running within a month or so. I've noticed this pain before when I would go on a longer than average walk (45 minutes). The pain starts around 2-3 inches up the fibula and feels as if the muscle is being ripped in half, almost a cramp like feeling. It's nothing unbearable but it is kind of bad, causes a little limping. The pain doesn't last long after I stop walking and doesn't hurt when I'm not doing anything. Is it likely something that will just work itself out as time goes on? Also, anything I can do in the mean time to help minimize the pain and or process of curing it all together? Ty in advance.
I have pain in my lower legs after rope skipping with shoes on a marble floor. Am I doing it wrong?
First of all, before doing any kind of intensive workout, u should warmup your body muscles and the joints to loosenup. If u have failed to do the first part itself, you r in for a big trouble since your body gets sore in the beginning itself. If u had done this mistake, please rectify yourself in the next time you r going to try skipping ropes or any other exercise for that matter.In spite of doing basic warmups and if your legs or ankle are still paining, there are two major reasons.Either you are working out more than your body can tolerate.In that case, try to take a break of 5 minutes between sets. There's always tomorrow and each day u can get better.You r not maintaining the correct form while skipping rope. You can click on the following link to know the right posture and technique to jump rope without stressing your body much. Skipping my butt offHope I have been of some help.

Why my legs pain when I run?
Thanks for asking, Ankit Seth.Exercise well. Warm up your body before the run and stretch the muscles post the run. Make your legs stronger with exercise. It was just two days ago when I dragged myself for 6.93 kms. (I am sorry, I am not well versed with the multiplication table of 1.61, yet). I run quite often, but this run was different. I ran after quite some time. I do on the treadmill, but I had forgotten the joy of stepping over the concrete and deriving a rustic pleasure out of it. I am not a Marathoner, but I can run well over 10 kms at a go. This run was different because this run was an emotional one. I had decided to leave my bags after work, suit up, and extract the energy from a playlist of sentimental songs.This run was different, because this decision was made in order to relieve the emotional stress that I am going through since some days. I started. My legs started to feel slightly worked up not before 4 kms. My mouth was surprisingly hydrated as the breathing was comfortably through my nose. The next 2.93 kms had all my attention and mental strength.Now, during the first 4 kms, I was not in the present. I was reminiscing of a hundred different things. When i was slowly about to feel the stretch, I was taken back to 2013 when i first started to run in a biting cold of December, in Germany. A Portuguese roommate, another Indian guy, these two started along with me. (I owe my penchant for running to them). After half a lap (200m), I felt like i am unable to breathe. After 300m, I felt like a knife that was stabbed at my throat. Painful. After 350m, I gave up as the dry, cold air mutilated my throat. A lap was of 400m, and I stayed short by 50m. My legs got a dozen kilos heavier. My throat fought to pass some air. My heart was sent to my mouth. A total physical failure. That marked the start of my running.Today, 2.5 years later, with a looser dedication than many others, I am able to hit 10k with not much for a sweat. In fact, in September, 2015, I finished a 12km Marathon in 1 hour's time. Here is my photo!My advice to you is not to get disheartened. It will pain. It will make you want to quit. But, don't let it overpower you. You are stronger than that. Never yield to your limitations. Conquer them. Because you can!
Sudden, sharp pain in calf muscle?
Last night I woke up at about 4am with the worst pain I've felt in a long time, sharp, sudden, intense pain in my left calf muscle. I woke up my poor husband with my sudden cry. It seemed to come on in an instant, last for maybe 20 seconds, then start to ease off until it's completely gone. When I walked, the muscle just felt tight, like I had worked out for an hour. What else is weird is that I was woken up in the middle of the night with a similar pain in my back a few nights prior. I'm 4 months pregnant, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
