Every doctor treating veins will have different recommendations on when you can resume running and some of that depends on which procedures you need to have done. The range can be from resume running immediately to no running for 2 weeks after a procedure.
Your best bet would be to consult with your Health Care Provider before starting any exercise.  I would recommend waiting seven-to-ten days before resuming a routine exercise such as running, weight lifting, or cycling, for example.
Depends on what treatment you had. If it is injection sclerotherapy you should be able to run within a day or two
