Subject: quad pain during run
would anyone have an idea why would one quads hurt so bad during a run, here's my dilema when running a month and a half ago stretched my whole body for 15 minutes before my run after the 2 mile mark i just felt a sharp pain on my right quad i just had to completely stop, ended up seeing a doctor and i was told that i've strained my quad muscle, before that he asked me about my training,i train 5 days a week swim, spin, and run, then asked about my running shoes i told him it did not have not even 100 miles on them and i use inserts, well after all that i was told to lay off for ten days, well i did, actually more than 10 days but i kept my swimming training going and moderate spinning, no running, now here i go today stretched out for my run it was perfect weather have my music going and the breathing could not been better at a 4.5 to 5.0 pace first 2 miles went very well started my third with a 1/4 to go WHAM here comes the pain same right quad i finished my 3rd mile but i could not continue, if anyone has any and i mean any advice please let me know i need all the input because it's quite upsetting not getting through my runs and this has never happen to me before during my runs, now twice in a row, unreal.

..... when running a month and a half ago stretched my whole body for 15 minutes before my run after the 2 mile mark i just felt a sharp pain on my right quad i just had to completely stop, 

 

I think that's the problem.  You shouldn't be stretching BEFORE you run, especially for 15 minutes.  Your muscles should be warmed up and limber before stretching.

I'll try that some calestectics before the run will warm up the muscles, hopefully I will be able to get my milage in this week pain free. Thanks for your input.
