Should you run through soreness?
A good rule of thumb is that if you’d rate the soreness or discomfort in your legs as anything higher than a 2, or possibly soft 3, on a scale of 1-10, you’ve ventured into “pain” territory and you’d be better served with rest or some other form of active recovery other than running.

- applying ice to the affected area to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Does thinking about pain make it worse?

Is there a way to not feel pain?

Is it OK to do pushups when sore?
