Hey /fit/, I do running every other day, I do stretching for 10 mins before and after running but my muscles get sore every single time whether I stretch or not and it doesn't go away till the next running session and prevents me from running well. Am I stretching wrong or what? The line in the pic is where my muscles are sore, other areas feel fine.

Check your shoes.

They may be rolling your foot the wrong way for the type of arch/step you have.

For example, I had an old pair of New Balance that would roll my foot outwards when I landed and it fucked me all up. Grabbed some Nikes (which as a brand, tend to roll inwards) fixed me up and no more shin splints.

Also if you need arch support make sure you get it. If you don't, make sure you aren't using a shoe that has it.

You might be striking with the front of your foot too much/too hard. Try rolling from the ball of your foot to the tip. Try spelling out the alphabet with your toe pointed down with each foot before running.

OP here, uh actually I'm using a pair of probably 3 year old new balances, they feel like shit. Maybe buying new running shoes will fix the problem.

You're supposed to replace your running shoes every 350 miles or so (depending on how hard you run), so this may be the problem. Get some new NB's, and please don't buy any Nike Shox.

There you go man. 3 years running 3-5x a week is way to long to have not replaced your shoes. With that frequency (don't know how far you run) I'd say replace them every 1-2 years depending.

Running in shit shoes = not good.

I use Nikes.

But I agree, do not buy Shox. Fucking hell those are horrid shoes.

You can always rely on New Balance when you need running shoes, they all look the same though, but that's not a factor I guess lol

Try to stretch differently a few times, and find out what works for you. It's not really "bad" that you get sore. You'll adapt.

Funny this thread came up, i was just checking NB's site. Starting to run on concrete in the next month and looking to find a route for trail running within around 10 miles of my area, luckily i live surrounded by plenty of places for trail running, dont feel like getting raped in the bushes though.

Some of their shoes look pretty good imo, i like the male's trail shoes for snow in blue & yellow.

Don't really know which shoe is least likely to give me blisters on my heels though.
