Running equals sore legs?? Help

Walk a bit before you run, and do some dynamic stretching before running if your legs are feeling particularly tight. When you get done make sure to do long slow static stretches (no bouncing) and drink plenty of water. If your legs are cramping, try eating a banana, as the potassium helps. Also, if you are running over 3 miles or longer than 45 minutes, recover with a glass of chocolate milk (even if it's lowfat). Studies have shown that the carbs, protein, and fat are the best combination for recovery, better than any sports drink.
