"Never heard that one, can only try I suppose, I like the feeling in a funny kind of way, it shows the muscle has been worked. "
Me too. But it goes on for 3-4 days! I spose it will lessen over time. ( Maybe it hurts more coz I don't eat a lot of protein?) |

Won't be that although it does help with the aid of repair, the pain is because the fibres have been torn which is what you to achieve.. it's just something you have put up with haha.. it does lessen over time though  |

"Leg DOMS are the worse "
That's what I had last week! I was like a 90 year old my mates were all laughing at me! They don't laugh when I offer them to come workout though! |

I was getting a massage a couple of weeks back and the masseur asked me if I knew about doms. I did have a little smirk, but knew what he was really talking about.
Gentle stretching and drinking water help me. |

The BCAAs are a must, so plenty of real protein. You've already said that you cool down, which is goo as there's nothing worse than collapsing into a post-workout heap when your muscles are at their most pliable.
Gentle exercise, obviously this is relative to each individual, will increase blood flow and can help - don't underestimate it or worry that'll undo all of your hard work.
Extreme cases: anti-inflammatories and some form of cold water immersion. Yes, I know there's conflicting evidence but they certainly work for some, even if from a placebo effect perspective.
If it's any consolation, stairs are currently my enemy too  |

Prevention is better than cure. Stretching, foam roller and self massage all reduce it. I get it worst after marathons bit now try and keep moving afterwards which minimises it |
