Hi welcome to the health care magic

In your case leg pain occurs after running few distance.. (as per mentioned history)

So it's exertion induce pain and for that peripheral vascular disease has to be ruled out..
For that colour doppler investigation will be beneficial..

If PVD present then pentoxyfylline like drug beneficial...

Rule out B12 deficiency, diabetes, anemia also for primary work up...

If thyroid related complaints present then serum TSH, T4 can be estimated

As per cause specific treatment will be given by your doctor

Hope your concern solved

Take care
