Post Body

Sometimes after I run, my arms are sore, particularly upper arms. Never my legs.

While I run, I’m very conscious to not swing my arms or cross then over my midline, since that can lead to over exertion/wasted energy.

Even while I’m running, the only reason I’ll pause or slow down is to shake out/stretch my arms because of how they hurt. I don’t want this to be the reason I have to slow down/take breaks!

Why does this happen? Is it just from keeping them at your waistline for so long? Does this happen to anyone else? Any tips? Thanks!
