oh man I know how you feel. I once had a intensive parkour training and then I had a dance show the very night and it hurt alot during the show. It took almost 8 days for my leg to get even a little relaxed by day 10 (I'm not kidding) I was able to walk down stairs w/o sidestepping again.

If it can be of any consolation, even a pretty steady practitioner (at a very <i>experienced</i> age...) like me, still gets sore for a good 24/36 hours after intensive practice. Yet there's a variety of things that one can do to reduce/control that before, during and after training:<br></br>

If it can be of any consolation, even a pretty steady practitioner (at a very <i>experienced</i> age...) like me, still gets sore for a good 24/36 hours after intensive practice. Yet there's a variety of things that one can do to reduce/control that before, during and after training:<br/>
<br/>
- hydrate plenty: I mean, we all know it, but we don't always do it. Every-<i>body</i> is different but a -ballpark- average could be half a gallon of water in the 6 hours around training, and a full gallon in the 24 hours. You have to drink <u>before</u> you're thirsty! It may not sound much and some people will greatly outdo that (especially in Summer), but there's still peeps showing up at training without a water-bottle...<br/>
<br/>
- warm up thoroughly! Stretching <i>per se</i> (especially "cold") before training won't do (especially <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/forum/topics/dynamic-stretching-good-static">static stretching</a>!!!), but warming up for real will significantly enhance your performance and your recovery time.<br/>
<br/>
- especially in the cold season, do not cool down: a lot of what we do is really explosive, and is meant to be done at high intensity/pace/focus. Sometimes our training gets a bit too colloquial/social and we end up chatting for 5 minutes before attempting a series of really challenging wall-runs... it's a <i>no-no</i> for soreness; you may have to warm up again, or specifically for that technique.<br/>
<br/>
- stretch thoroughly at the end of session ("statical" ok; 10 minutes bare minimum), and maybe stretch again (much more gently!) specific areas at night or the following morning.<br/>
<br/>
- rest your body: get serious sleep before and after training.<br/>
<br/>
Finally, this good <a href="http://baparkour.ning.com/profiles/blogs/cramping-a-howto-guide">article on "cramping"</a> can be related to soreness: as Jodie suggested, mild activity will improve soreness (as Reciprocal Inhibition will fight cramps), but the real solution is prevention through correct training, "<i>thorough warm-up, healthy diet and proper hydration</i>".<br/>
