So I had made a post about having a pain in my legs when I would run in the morning on the treadmill. When I would get these pains it was running between 6-8am in the morning which reguardless of the time I just woke up 30 minutes prior to this and everytime last week I would have the bad pains on the insides of my legs like 8 inches above my ankles. Since then I have worked out later in the day with no types of pains what so ever so maybe it is a stupid question but is it possible I am not giving myself enough time to fully wake up before I work out or does it not matter?

warmup is necessary before starting any kind of exercise
Maximum of new runners overlook warm ups and feel pain in their lags and other parts of their body like you. They need to know that the proper warm up would help them to peak their performance. The real question is how many people know the exact way of warm ups.
I would like to show all of you the exact t way of warm ups. Here's How:
• It's not a good idea to stretch cold muscles, so don't start with stretching. Do about 5-10 minutes of light aerobic exercise to loosen up your muscles and warm you up for your run. Try walking briskly, marching, jogging slowly, or cycling on a stationary bike. Make sure you don't rush your warm-up.
• Begin your run. Don't start out racing, but instead jog slowly and gradually build up your speed. You should be breathing very easily. If you feel yourself getting out of breath, slow down.
• After you finish your run, cool down by walking or slowly jogging for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Stretch fully after your cooldown. Your body should be warm and stretching should be easy.
• Stretch your lower back, neck, calves, quadriceps, hamstrings and groin area. Hold each stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
• Never bounce while stretching. Hold still on each stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
• Perform each stretch one to three times.
• A stretch should never feel like you're hurting yourself. If it hurts, stop that stretch immediately.
Keep in mind that by slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps minimize stress on your heart when you start your run. Just as critical, the cooldown keeps the blood flowing throughout the body. Stopping suddenly can cause light-headedness because your heart rate and blood pressure drop rapidly. Winding down slowly allows them to fall gradually.

Time between waking up and excercise is totally irrelevant. I am used to being up and out of the door running or cycling within 15 minutes, I like my sleep, incorporating warm up into my other activities. The damage you are encountering looks due to poor warm up and stretch and after effects of not using cool down and stretch form previous days.
