Painful legs post Edinburgh Marathon

[Olidora]

Any top tips for my son today after running Marathon yesterday?His legs are soooo painful today and has a long car journey back to home city today.
He has been doing all the usual stretches etc but wondering if any other advice I can share with him .
The run was brutal,running against 43mph wind for half the race !

Just rest. Is it his first marathon?

The other one is avoid going down stairs!

Maybe a massage if you can find one?

Or ice bath !

Hydration - plenty of hot drinks and water - and decent food. Static stretches and rest. That’s all!

Cold water bath
Hot bath with epsom salts
sports massage
walking
lots of water, carbs and protein
It was only 8 miles into the wind ;)
