This is my Expertise....first of all, the first day, you stretched , but it wasn't the good stretch your body needed(will discuss). then when you ran, your body still had tension that needed to be released. as a consequence, you cramped. now, although you stretched it , it was a temporary fix, and therefore when you continued to run, you were adding more tension to an already tight muscle....follow this and you will see a difference...ALLOW 20 MINUTES FOR THIS....SIT DOWN ON THE GROUND....place one leg in front flat on the ground....slowly, but not forcefully, drop your head to your knee while holding the knee down with your hand....allow this stretch while your leg is TOTALLY relaxed....you cant do this with both at the same time because really, if you truly relax the leg. the knees pop up...if you allow a slow drop and stretch with this, you will feel the tension drop out.....after this with both legs, YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE... please feel free to im me about ANY OTHER BODY pain concerns! laney
its got to be a pulled muscle, i dont think that would be a cramp. best thing to do it keep stretching it.
Could possibly be a pulled muscle, 'cause cramps don't usually last for days. They usually ease out after a few minutes. If you continue to have the pain, have your doc take a look at it.
