Ive been feeling a little like Ive been run over by a truck. Whats wrong?
This could be a sign of overtraining or trying to do too much too soon if you are a beginning runner. A general guideline for increasing your mileage is to limit increases to 10% per week. Listen to your body and do not try to “run through the pain” as more serious injuries can occur. Many runners swear by therapeutic massage as a way to work out some of the tightness and tenderness that comes with an active lifestyle. You’ll have to decide what you think will work best for you, but asking around the club will guide you to various options.
