Answer 1

If you are new to running you need to work your way into it.

Take a day off between runs, to recover, maybe walk a mile or so on your days off to loosen up the muscles.

The longer that you are at it, the less recovery time you will need between runs.

Don't feel guilty taken the time off, your body needs time to adjust to the new stress and recover.

Good luck :-)

Answer 2

Anytime you do any type of exercise you need to recover. If your legs are still hurting you did too much and should not run. You may be sore and stiff when beginning a new program but it should not be killing you. You may be sore for 2 days after a hard work out. Try warming up and see how you feel. If you don't feel like running then just walk easy.

Answer 3

Pain will go if u adhere to ur schedule.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

Answer 4

Try walking for a day or two. Give your muscles a rest, but keep active. It's just lactic acid build-up that is making you sore. If the soreness is more of pain, you may have injured yourself? Check with a doctor is this is the problem. If you are starting a new program or going back to running after a lay-off, most likely it's just sore muscles.

Answer 5

You should probably give your legs a day to rest. As you continue to exercise regularly, your stamina and endurance will strengthen. Alternate days of focusing on your upper body and lower body. Focus on your abs/core strength. And of course, be sure to drink plenty of water and even some gatorade to replace those electrolytes, the lack of which is probably what is causing your legs to feel like they're about to fall off!

Answer 6

well first you need one of my cure all leg rubs. But when exercising your body needs time to recuperate. People who run everyday and arent quite used to it are probably going to have to take a day off to let them rebound. That does not necessarily mean no exercise cause you can work another area of your body the next day to let your legs get that rest they need

Answer 7

suggest that walking is a much healthier activity. running jams your joints together again and again and quickly leads to repetative motion injuries.
