Has anyone ever had their calves bruised after running?

    If I get a rockin' workout, sometimes my thighs feel bruised, but there are no visible bruises? :grumble: So, I have absolutely nothing to offer, I am curious to hear other responses.

    Are they tender like a bruise or actually have bruising visible on them, like a blue/purple colour?

    I get that a lot.
    They don't hurt but there is definite black and blueness.
    I believe it is because running is traumatic for your legs and it breaks the blood vessels.
    Are you taking rest days in between?

    If resting from running counts as a jog/walk then yes...but a full day...no, there is no way i can go a day without some sort of light jogging/walking..i would literally go insane

    i used to bruise really easily, now with losing some weight, getting in better shape and eating better (well, i try :wink:) it's gotten a lot better.
    but the only bruises i get from running, is when i trip over my own feet :happy:
