You want to wear layers of clothing--like maybe a thermal shirt, or a couple t-shirts--and then an outer sweatshirt or windbreaker. Layers are better than, say, one big heavy jacket or sweatshirt because they allow more movement, plus they trap warm air between the layers. Also, you can shed a layer if you get too warm. Wear gloves, because cold hands are very irritating and you will cut-short your run because of them. Same for cold ears! I like those knit, pulldown ski caps.\n  Also important: do your stretching inside where it's warm before you go outside! This way your muscles won't tighten up too quick when you start running. Start out running slow and gradually speed up: this too is to allow your body to warm up, like you warm up your car. Lastly--walk the last 10 minutes or so before you go inside, to cool down. Otherwise, again, you could cramp up inside. Muscles gove off lactic acid after exertion, which is what makes you sore. Cooling down slows lactic absorption. As far as running time? Go ahead and run as long as you normally would, as long as you take these steps. (I'm talking about temps from around freezing to the low teens, here. Any colder, and I'd cut my normal run time in half.)

Yes, it's best to do yoga stretches with running in order to get flexibility. Do some leg stretches. Go to google images and press in  yoga or stretches. You'll feel great mentally and physically. Always take deep breaths when stretching. It will take away any tension in your body.

You know - and anyone who reads this and runs alone should know - it really works to play games with yourself while running.\n\nYou can do intervals - speeding up for two minutes and then easing back for 5-7 minutes.\n\nYou can sprint and then walk a few times.\n\nChanging terrain can really help.  Have you done hills or stairs, for example?\n\nWhatever you do, workouts are much more fun when you don't have the chance to think about how long, tedious, and painful they are!  Focus your thoughts elsewhere and you'll be much happier for it, I assure you!

I'm pretty sure it's best to do whole body exercizes. That's why running and swimming give really good results, because they work a lot of your body and not just one part.\nAlso, you don't want to put too much strain on a body part of it could become sore.

It's hard to tell exactly without examining you since your discription of the location of your pain doesn't give me a good idea as to exactly where your pain is, so it's tough to diagnose this way.\n\nWhat I can suggest is starting with an activity that you can perform 100% painfree, preferably as close to running as possible.  If it's jogging, then start there ... or if it's only walking then that's okay too.  I would also recommend doing it on a treadmill initially since you can control the incline and the speed.  Then GRADUALLY start increasing the speed each week ...  but be sure to keep everything painfree. This may take a long time to get you back to running eventually, but that's okay.\n\nTwo more suggestions.  First, make sure you stretch both your calves and your anterior tibialis AFTER exercsing,  Second, a lot of times shin splints is caused by a muscular imbalance between the calves and the anterior tib's, so even if the muscle on the front of the lower leg are strong, they still might be being overpowered by the calves.

Its called DOMS..delay onset muscle soreness. It happens when you haven't worked out for a long time and your muscles are just trying to get use to it. It also happens when you don't stretch really good before you workout. what ever muscles you plan on working on, those are the muscles that you need to stretch the most. When there is to much lactate acid in the muscle and not enough ATP being made, it can , well there more to it than that. But just try stretching more and then you should be ok.

Well first off thats normal. You will sometimes get a itch or a pulsate in your legs after walking long or running. You have to do your best to not scratch it. The itch will fade

Just run before the season.  running a lot will not only make you faster for the season.  It will also help your stamina greater because you have been running all year long.

Yes it might be discouraging, but keep going. I'm sore every day. When you push your body to its limits working out you strech muscels that will later reproduce and become stronger. When sore just take a day break and start working agian. Working out is fun and great for you. I'd 100 times rather be sore than fat! LOL!\n\nP.S.: This is normal

Walking is much lower impact than running.  Walking probably is not agrivating the injury as much as running work.\nConsider:\n- Using ice 20 min. on, 20 min. off 2 or 3 times a day.\n- Use a knee brace for support when running until it feels better, get one with the steel brakets on either side to help control side to side motion.  Don't use brace for too long as it can prevent your body from supporting on it's own if the brace is always there.\n- If not better in about a week or two.  See an orthopedic doctor.\n- Asprin or Advil or your favorite pain killer can also help with the pain and cut down on any swelling.

dude, i'm happy to help, but you have to take your picture off your little square. seriously.\nanyways, this is normal, your muscles are getting used to the stress you've put on them. you will probablly feel sore if you go really hard one day, but if you continue to work out everyday, it is normal, and GOOD not to feel sore after every workout.\nkeep it up!

That's a bit odd if you didn't gain one bit of stamina. Maybe you aren't eating right or maybe you need to work out a bit to make your muscles stronger for running. Sometimes, jogging each day a certain distance, and then increasing that distance can help you out.

It's typical to be fatigued, sore, and irritable for your first several weeks of exercise, especially if you're doing it for weight loss, and you don't really want to be doing it?  Hmm?  I've had clients that come into the club to work out and they stay mad at me until the session is almost over!  Geez!  Some people like to work out and some people do it just for weight loss and don't really enjoy it much. \n Most people tho, just to put your mind at ease feel the way you do at first, because hey you are more fatigued, you are more sore, and you're irritable because you're more fatigued and sore!  It's normal, stick with it, pretty soon you'll be looking forward to your walks, really!

Make sure you warm up _before_ you stretch.  You should not stretch a cold muscle.  Stretching cold makes you more prone to injury.  So, after warming up with a quick walk or light jog, then stretch for about 5 minutes.  I find stretching after running to be more important.\n\nAlso, don't try to do too much too soon.  Increase your distance by about 10% each week.  This is a good rule of thumb to prevent injury.

Run/jog. When you get tired, walk for the same amount of time your ran, then run again. When you can do a couple of miles that way, work on extending your runs while cutting down the walking.\n\nBe sure to stretch out after you run to keep from getting sore.\nSee if your local library has Bob Anderson's Stretching book.
