Title: overly stiff/sore postrace Post by: Dawson Hinton on May 16, 2008, 10:35:06 pm So, I ran the Hurricane half marathon back on May 3rd. I ran one time during the following week, but it was a nice slow pace (almost 2 minutes per mile slower than my normal pace). After that I gave it a whole week off to rest. I have since run a total of 15 miles this week, and every one of them has been slow and painfull for me! My quads, hamstrings, and calves have been very sore, and I have been getting a lot of aches/stitches in my side lately. I usually have to slow to a walk for a couple of minutes to get the side aches to go away. I do everything the sme as before, but what has changed? I am stumped, and a little frustrated right now. Can anyone offer any imput?

Really push the water at least 3-4 Liters a day. and get a good electrolyte supplement. I would get a massage as well to help push the stuff out of your legs.
