Can somebody explain this to me why did it happened?

Everytime, after a 1 - 2 mile running test (that we have every 6 months), my hips %26amp; legs would hurt! I can't barely bend my knees! It lasted for about 2 days usually. I think that's because I was not using proper shoes. Students from our school can't wear any other shoes to school other than school shoes. So, it's a cumbersome to have running shoes in my bagpack to school just for the test.





What's weird is last week, we had the running test again and I didn't feel exhausted after the test like I used to be. I didn't feel tired at all during the run! Taking a break during the run is no longer necessary. I can still run after the test %26amp; I have more energy left than usual and my time is MUCH MUCH better!! Honestly, I don't know why. I was using the same shoes! And the next day, my hips, legs %26amp; heels felt normal! NO PAIN! Same thing happened to my twin.





I don't understand, why did it happened?!

I have had good days and bad days for running. If you got away with running in bad shoes last time, lucky for you!





Really, you should get some real running shoes or you run the risk of going back to the painful result. If you abuse yourself enough, the injuries could last forever. Also you might have changed your form, the way you run, with improved results.





If you're a teenager, your ability to run increases dramatically, so that could be it.





But really, get some good shoes!
Reply:Your problem sounds like you have tight muscle and tendons.





A lot of runners experience problem with tendonitis and fasciitis, which can cause pain only after you run for a while. It has nothing to do with shoes. It has to do with stretching and conditioning.





If you stretch on regular basis, your tendon and fascia will be more flexible, so when you exercise, they are less likely to get inflammed.





If you run regularly, your body will be condition to the running and will have less pain. That's how people train for marathons - to run more and more until the short milages does not cause pain, then you increase the milage further.





Start Stretching on daily basis, then do a good warmup and stretching before you run. It will help.
