Running After Doing Legs OK?

Training
1

hey did legs this morning 10am
-hack squats
-leg press
-leg extension
-RDL
-Standing leg curl

think it would be ok to go for a run this afternoon (3:30pm)?

2

yes, but only if you keep it to under 5.5 mi and never exceed an 8.2 min/mi pace…if you go faster or farther your quads will self-destruct

3

if you worked out your legs hard enough I don’t think you’d be able to run for a couple days.

That has to be the best advice I have ever read.

You either work out very softly or run very softly if you’re legitimately asking that question.

OR you’re some sort of wizard, I suppose.

7

Running the day after can help relieve some of the soreness. But you’re not going to be able to run very fast or enjoy it.

What are your goals?

Yeah it’s fine if you can do it. I wouldn’t plan on going too far though.

Says who? I worked legs yesterday, worked them hard, puked while doing it, and went for a run right after, im sore today of course, but its not noticably worse then when i work legs and dont run afterwords

In my opinion, it helps aid recovery. Obviously not sprints, but a slow, steady pace.

12

yes. Get some lactic acid and blood moving. you’ll live.

13

Fo Sho…just don’t do anything stupid, keep a tolerable pace.

14

didnt do it. and if i did it was going to be a slow jog. Legs were too sore.

Sounds like you really know your body…

I like a brisk 30-45 minute walk after I down my PWO drink after doing legs. Helps recovery and reduce soreness tremendously.

18

I wait a few hours and do my long tempo day pace. It usually goes pretty well.

That’s pretty impressive then. Last time I tried to do a tire run on a leg day I almost popped a hip flexor.
