When My Legs Are Sore…

When my legs are sore (if my legs are sore) or stiff in the day after running I turn to the weights bench and curl 10kg nice and easy. Something I’ve also learned to reduce the stiffness after a run is not to sit down so soon after running.

Working from home it’s very easy to come in from a run, not bother changing for a while, camp out at the desk and answer emails, phone calls, make blog posts, whatever happens. Next thing you know, you’ve been sitting still for 2-3 hours and when you go to stand up your legs are quite stiff.

Given past experience though I’m well aware the stiffness doesn’t last forever, thankfully. It’s only been two trips to the park to ease back into things so there’s a while to go yet.

Still, the weights bench does help.
