Leg pain: Consider exertional compartment syndrome of superficial peroneal nerves, vascular claudication, neurogenic claudication, periostitis, and strain.

Fw things: Could be shin splints, exertional compartment syndrome, radiculopathy from the back, dvt, extreme pain should be ruled out. See an orthopedist.
