From Christine Luff, your Guide to Running & Jogging
Some questions I hear from runners are not about issues during their runs, but about various problems after running. For example, I often hear from runners who complain about post-run headaches, which can be a result of dehydration, or may be exercised-induced. Others complain about post-run muscle soreness, especially after a long run or tough speed workout. This week I have advice on how to take care of yourself after your runs.

How to Deal With Muscle Soreness
It's very common for runners to experience muscle soreness or stiffness 24-48 hours after running. This delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) usually only last a day or two, but here are some tips for dealing with it in the meantime.
