Hi
I'm new to this running lark and need some advice on how to get into a training plan.
I reasonably fit and can go for a run and comfortably complete 6 or 7 miles, but then my legs will ache for the next 2 or 3 days. How do I get beyond this phase? What is the ache in my legs? Is it lactic acid build up, or damage to muscle fibres? Am I ok to go running on aching legs, or will I risk injury?
If I wait until my legs no longer ache before running again, then the same thing happens again. I feel like I need to run more often so my legs will get used to it, but don't want to risk injury.
Advice appreciated.
