Leg pain in runners can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Overuse
Improper training
Underlying medical conditions

Overuse

Overuse is the most common cause of leg pain in runners. It occurs when the muscles, tendons, and bones in the leg are subjected to repeated stress over a period of time. This stress can lead to inflammation, pain, and injury.

Overuse injuries are typically caused by:

Running too much too soon
Increasing mileage too quickly
Running on hard surfaces
Wearing improper shoes

Overuse injuries can be prevented by gradually increasing mileage and intensity, running on soft surfaces, and wearing proper shoes.

Improper Training

Improper training can also lead to leg pain in runners. This includes:

Not warming up properly before a run
Not cooling down properly after a run
Not stretching regularly

Improper training can lead to肌肉紧张, inflammation, and pain. These problems can be prevented by warming up properly before a run, cooling down properly after a run, and stretching regularly.
