So I started running again for the first time since football season ended, and ran about 4 1/2 miles today.

Now my problem is, when i run, after I run for about a mile and a half without stopping, my right leg, from about half way down the calf down, falls asleep.

Now I've heard from some people it's a circulation problem, but I'm not sure if I need to get it checked out or what?

This has happened before, last year during track season. It only happens when I run long distances without stopping for a breath.

and if its any help I had a knee injury in the same leg this year, I tore my mcl with a possibility of problem with my miniscus. I don't know if that would affect my circulation or anything. but just for the sake of knowing everything.

I need to know if I should go to the doctor or what?

Get it checked out. You probably have poor circulation.

But what can they do for that? And what happens if I continue running without doing anything? Will it make it worse or what?

You should stop for a breath, then.

They'll tell you different stretches/routines you can do to help. It's probably not too bad that you have poor circulation for day to day affairs, but if you keep it up you may start to damage muscles from lack of Oxygen.

Your injury could be causing it, a clot, etc. It could be any number of things with any number of treatments. If you know something just isn't right, get it checked.

If you don't do anything, nothing might happen, but in the worst case... You should get it checked. Just to be safe.

Stretch .......... I've had that happen to me once or twice after going on leave and coming back to the corps

lack of hydration will also have effect

would lack of food do that also?

I've barely eaten anything today, a peanut butter cup package (2 cups) and a mini pizza bagel thing.

I don't know if water was a problem, because that's basically whats been filling my stomach all day so I'm not hungry.

You need protein and carbohydrates when exercising. Don't starve yourself if you're going to exert yourself. I doubt it would put your legs to sleep. Again, that's all circulation.

It's not that I'm trying to starve myself, it's just I'm not even hungry.

They can tell you the answers to your question and tell you if its dangerous or not.
