Problems after a foot chase?

Take a dump on the hood of a nearby PARKED car! That usually does the trick for me.

Fellow 21 year old here, and wasn't going to say anything in regards to this as I am not a doctor or exercise physician. However I have had similar pains from playing sports at college when I am not accustomed to sprinting. From personal experience, oh yea every so often during the school year I get those huge muscle pains that make it hard to get going in the morning. As tx joked, it's very true, no stretching or warm-ups will also contribute to the pain. Before commencing a pursuit next time, ask the criminal to stop and take part in a pre-chase stretch as to prevent injuries. Nah with all joking aside, you can log 30 miles of jogging a week and this still could happen to you. I balance my 4 jogs a week with at least 2 work outs on the track. 2 or 3 mile warm up, (get the blood going) and then do at least 8 100 meter sprints. A lot of people work out their upper body but neglect their lower. After each 100, I either do slides back to the start line or back pedal. This gives time for your cardiovascular system and the normal running muscles to rest a little while at the same time keeping the heart rate elevated and using different muscles in your legs. I just try to sprint at least a half mile each time up there, whether it is 4 200's or 2 400's. I increase the distance as my sprinting stamina improves with every workout. Tweak the distances and the number and you'll see the improvement in your legs as well as feel it. Jogging and sprinting work out two entirely different muscle groups and working in sprinting exercises will only improve your overall fitness. (Really helps out your abdominal muscles.)

As a footnote, I am not a meathead. I'm not this kid who goes to the gym and has no neck. This advice might come across as if that's the case, but I actually a run a whole lot more than go to the gym. It's the best thing you can possibly do for your body.

I'm beatin a dead horse here as you have already gone to the local clinic. Over-exertion is probably the culprit. I know you are young and strong, but follow the physician's advise. The tylenol (pain medicine) is not an excuse to go to tact training. Make sure your legs get the rest they need. That's the best way for them to heal along with plenty of water or other fluids that do not contain too much sugar. Good job to catching this guy. I'm sure I would have just through my asp at him out of anger of being slow. ;)

eat some bananas, might sound dumb but they help muscle cramps.

drink gatorade or powerade.if the continue to cramp take liitle piches of salt. it could be just from over working the muscles ir that your potassium is low
