Oleg Sergeevich, good afternoon.
I do kickboxing training three times a week but on other days I run 5 km (seldom 10 km).
My legs below the knee hurt badly, the bone aches and I feel muscle tingling. I don't want to give up training, what do you recommend to do for recovery?
Thank you!

Greetings to you!
If the ache in the lower leg is not the result of injury during kickboxing training (kicks), we're likely dealing with a periosteum. All symptoms you described above confirm this assumption. It's a fairly common phenomenon (I mean inflammation of the periosteum) and often it takes much time to fight with it.
First of all you should pay attention to running shoes you wear. They should protect you leg. It means they should have thick outsole and be with maximum cushioning.
Avoid running on too rigid surfaces. Try to train on natural soft surfaces such as paths in parks, if possible.
Sometimes a consultation of qualified orthopedist followed by prescription of custom orthotics may be required.
If all preventive measures are taken but pain occurs, I recommend you to make compresses with anti-inflammatory agents (gels, ointments) and leave them overnight.
Good afternoon,
How to "feed" my knees in order not to feel discomfort after a long-term running? Usually, I drink BAAs (glucosamine and chondroitin) but the effect lasts 1-2 months only.
I feel severe pain in calf muscles after racing.
How to recover faster after a race?
Good afternoon.
Tell me, please, can I run more than 10 kilometers with flat feet?
Good afternoon.
My legs feel heavy after 10 km running and it becomes harder and harder for me to continue running. In the result I literally drag my feet at the end of a half-marathon distance, what to do?
Good afternoon.
I run a little over half-year. Taking my fitness level and frequency of trainings into consideration I can say that I'm a novice, not even amateur runner.
Unfortunately, even during this short period I had injuries. A month ago I pulled ligaments of ankle joint in the result of failed landing (my leg slipped), it hurt for a long time. Now a new misfortune: a discomfort in the area of hip joint is felt for a couple of days.
These injuries are not so serious to consult a doctor, so I use ointment and do breaks in training. Now I more or less understand something about prevention but when injuries happens...Are there any working exercises or other rehabilitation methods that should be used but not after severe injuries?
Thank you!
