Running and leg pump

ad

I usually don't run/jog but trying to up my cardio, so I decided to take a jog today and no more then 5 mins in I got the most god awful sever legs pump ever in both legs from thighs down. Muscles fully pumped shins pumped it was terrible I had to stop cause my legs felt numb. I was running on concrete which I normally don't. Running in the yard doing hills sprints doesn't bother me. Was my water intake to low possibly dehydrated? Potassium low? Any one else experience this. Everything subsided when I finished. Thanks in advance.

Give it time, your legs are not used to this. Just keep with it and it should stop after a while. Same shit happened to me this spring and I just slowly built up the amount of time I could run for. Unless you're on some orals, then you might be fucked lol.

Just Provi. I think it was due to the humidity and I didn't drink enough today, and like you said don't do much running.

This happened to me on an otc preworkout/test booster that has a similar name to d-pol...I mean d-bol. 10 minutes in my calves were hard as rocks and my hams were starting to feel a pump. I pushed on for 3 more minutes and couldn't hang. Conclusion: I didn't drink enough water and needed a banana.

No Dbol for me just Test and Proviron. I'm thinking it was lack of water. I was sluggish all day and drank more coffee then normal which didn't help the hydration issue. I've been slamming water since. Thanks for the reply.

Coffee makes me urinate like a Russian racehorse as well. Stay hydrated brother!

Same here I'm down to one cup in the morning now. But today just couldn't get with it so drank an extra cup or two. It's a laxative for me lol
