Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned runner, sore muscles after a run are something we all experience. That familiar post-run ache—often called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)—typically kicks in 12–48 hours after a tough session. It's a natural part of training, but how you handle it can make a big difference in your recovery and performance. Here’s how to manage post-run muscle aches the smart way: 1. Apply Cold Therapy (First 24–48 Hours) Right after a hard run or race, especially if you feel stiffness setting in: Apply an ice pack to sore areas for 15–20 minutes If available, try an ice bath for full-body recovery Cold helps reduce inflammation and numbs soreness Tip: Avoid direct ice on the skin—wrap it in a cloth or towel. 2. Use Heat Therapy (After 48 Hours) Once the initial inflammation goes down, switch to heat: Use a warm compress or heating pad on tight muscles Take a warm bath to relax muscle tension Heat increases blood flow and helps with flexibility. 3. Stretch Gently Skip the deep stretches right after a hard run. Instead: Try light dynamic stretches 12–24 hours later Focus on hamstrings, calves, quads, and glutes Stretching promotes flexibility and prevents tightness Note: Never stretch to the point of pain.
