Running ni**les occur all the time and usually come and go without causing any lasting issues. But when should you worry about running discomfort?
🏃♀️Most ni**les occur because too much is being asked of the muscles and they respond by giving you signal that they are struggling.
🏃♂️The first thing to do is to ice any ni**le, ideally for 10 minutes at a time and repeating every hour to help control any inflammation.
🏃🏾♂️If it is still sore after a couple of days of icing, lowering the distance and speed of your run may be enough to put the muscles back into their comfort zone, alleviating the ni**le.
Any ni**le that lasts more than 2 weeks, or is getting worse should definitely be checked out. 😃👍
