Do your best to prevent pain by making sure your muscles are well hydrated (drink lots of water before and during a long run) and that you're eating enough. Try new shoes- go to a running store- they can watch you run and fit you for the shoe that best fits your gait. If the problem continues see a doctor.

So if you can run on softer surfaces that will help otherwise lots of stretching, keep drinking fluids and I find hot baths or hot/cold compresses help. Heat for pain, cold for swelling, hope that helps!

Remember every 250 miles or so, you need to buy a new pair of shoes to prevent soreness or injuries. (: You want to try different running shoes and, possibly different inserts.

Unless it is a really awful pain, some soreness is normal. You can take ibuprofen after the run to reduce inflammation, also taking a long cooldown walk of about 1/2 mile after the run will also help. Also make sure to replace your running shoes regularly as the cushioning helps to prevent knee and ankle pain.

We would run at least 9 miles a day if not more. You stretch out before and after you run. Then after you stretch out you take a trash can and fill it up with a bucket of ice and fill it up with water. then put both legs in or one at a time if it is a smaller trash can and leave your leg in there for 4-5 mins. helps prevent shin splints too :) Doing this flushes all the bad fluids and chemicals that your body is storing in your legs after you run the best thing to do which is what i did for long distance training during high school.
