Trouble running after the break
 

Ended my HS basketball season several weeks ago. Had about a month of MS V'ball then about a month off. I walked regularly and jogged a little in the off time. When fall soccer and then basketball season ended I was getting up and down the field and court with no problems at all. Now my Spring soccer season started last Monday and I have been so stiff and my knees have been so sore (I have arthritis in both) and my lower back so tight that I'm running so much slower than normal. I can ususally keep up with the HS boys without working too hard, but am working hard just to keep pace with the girls. Also I am so stiff and sore afterwards. I've never had this happen before. Have any of you? Any suggestions or thoughts? I'm real concerned!

hey Refnrev

Me too. I just chock it up to getting old. Sorry but I have not yet found an answer either. My doctor is no help, and searching the running web page forums have been no help.

What I do now is just arrive really early, stretch, jog, stretch, and do my best. Aspirins for the way home, and ice packs.

If any one else has any better advice..... please help
