EASING SORENESS Kid's Tip by Cory Extend your cool-down Too many people warm-up too much and cool down too little. It should be the other way around. Make sure you run a nice and easy 15- 20-minute jog or run (depending on your comfort level or fatigue) after you finish your race or workout. This will help you with sore muscles and aches. My name is Cory. I am 14 years old. I live in Maryland and have been running for 3 years, with a very serious training schedule. I am on a cross country and track team, and hold records in the half mile, mile, and 2 mile. Currently, I have won the State Championship in all three and will be going into high school next year.
