What Causes The Legs To Shake During And After A Run?

I am on cross country and I have been for four years. I am in very good shape, do not have any health problems that I know of am not overweight don t drink alcohol or do drugs. During and after many of my runs My legs shake uncontrollably for a long time even after I do cool down. They shake in between each step I make and I have no idea why I shake so badly. I do not have anixety and this happens rain at 30 degrees with no jacket on or when it is 110 degrees. Most days I drink 2 liters a day before practice. I have been tested for anemia and I am not anemic. Why do I shake during my runs whether a hard run or not. I almost always shake when I do hills repeats even if the repeats arent fast but I also shake during flat practices. I also always do at least a mile warm Up and stretch. What is wrong with me?

Hello,

It may be due to hypoglycemia and dehydration.

For further assessment you may require complete hemogram, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes after physician consultation.

Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.

Till then keep your self hydrated.

Do regular blood pressure monitoring.

Take balanced diet.

Avoid strenuous activity

Hope I have answered your query...
