Sore Aching Leg Muscles Causes

It's a beautiful morning and you want to go running, but sometimes when you just want to have fun you are bothered by sore aching leg muscles...  

 

Sore Aching Leg Muscles Causes

• Starting a running program 
• overdoing a new activity 
• medical condition
  

These are all reasons you have sore aching leg muscles. 

If you have sore leg muscles caused by an underlining medical condition like fibromyalgia or arthritis then I would suggest getting help from your Doctor and physical therapist.

Running Schedule for Beginners

Running is an amazing sport and it is fun...

What You Need to Start Running

You need to look at the Running Schedule for Beginners so you get a sense of how to do the whole journey for a new runner.

One thing I love to see in accomplished runners is their sense of freedom they developed from running, health being the most important!  There are many other benefits you will experience!
You as beginner runner have a lot to look forward to.  
The act of learning to run is challenging and will present you with many positive changes in your body, especially in the beginning!

I have a complete running schedule for you to follow, from the preweek where you will be just walking to the 6 week mark where you'll be able to run 5 Kilometers, or pretty close to it.

Something to keep in mind - You don't have to do the 6 week running schedule in 6 weeks, sometimes it's nice to repeat a week if you are feeling it's too challenging. Sometimes it's difficult to get out and run and sometimes you don't want to go for a run, so have to repeat a week.
Another note, if you are repeating running weeks - pay close attention to your alternate goals.
For example:

  "I'm going to finish this program in 8 weeks instead."
Doing this takes the confusion out of running and nicely keeps goals intact moving in the right direction. I hope you do this program and keep running forever!

 You know yourself the best!
