Best Answer

immediately after jogging, the body's homeostatic mechanisms continue to function to first get rid of excess lactic acid build up in the muscle tissue and it also compensates for the loss of oxygen in its myoglobin and glucose (oxygen debt). the pain is due to the lactic acid causing cellular damage and this irritates nociceptors (pain receptors).
