12.5 miles is very impressive! I hear ya about the tired legs. I have had them for about a week now.Originally Posted by Wahine
12.5 hilly miles. About 70% of it on trails so my pace was pretty slow for me. Didn't help that I had the residue of about 44 miles of bike with a 3 mile run afterward from yesterday. This first month of switching my schedule around so I can run on tired legs is a killer.
KSH - I honestly think that you should get tested for compartment syndrome. I know that someone else has brought this up before, but I'm bringing it up again. If that's what it is, it's really treatable and you could be painfree.
Well, I really don't think that is what I have. You see, the pain NEVER goes away. I believe with compartment syndrome, it does go away after running a bit... right? My legs even hurt/ache hours/days after running.
I should look around for a Dr. who tests for it... what kind of Dr. does this anyways? But I kind of doubt that is my problem. Unfortunately. I wish my pain had a name. But I don't think it does.

It won't necessarily go away after you run. If the compression is bad enough you'll get a certain amount of tissue damage with every run related to lack of adequate blood flow to the muscles. This can set up an inflammatory response, just like any other injury, that can cause pain for 4 to 7 days after the event. So, if you run more often than every 4 to 7 days and you have very high pressures in the compartments of the lower leg, you could quite easily have constant pain. Originally Posted by KSH

Well done every body. I have been a lazy moo exercise wise over this Easter break, however Friday and Saturday I did loads of work in the garden (hauling turf and digging etc) and on Sunday I just felt exhausted. I'm going to try to get out for a short run today as I'm having a step back week anyway its not such a crisis I'm not doing anything except heavy gardening. Back to work tomorrow (boo) so I should get back into my routine then.
