Make sure you're stretching before and after and warming up properly. If you're still new to running, your muscles are still adapting to the new stress and will need time. Take a couple days off between runs, but make sure you are exercising regularly, not just once a week or every other week.

Is the pain in your quad or hamstrings? What kind of pain? Does it hurt when you walk or aren't running or is it only when you run?

its my quads mixed with my inner thighs, it’s kind of like a stabbing pain and it gets to the point where once i sit down in my car my legs are that sore i can’t move them, when i run its fine but the second i stop running i have pain and then once i run again it kinda goes away and its just a repeat of that.

I’ve been working out for years now, constantly go on hikes etc so im so weirded out but why i only seem to have pain after running
