I honestly can't believe the burning sensation i have going through my shins this last week.

Shin splints ?

Shin splints ?

Yeah.

I usually get a burning sensation down the shin, but recently its come back hard.

might retry the rock tape.

Had a really lazy week so wanted to push myself today to get my head back into it. Managed just over 14k in 1 hour 16. Really happy with it but was about at the end of my stamina by the end. Feeling great now, but my legs are stiff as anything.

Nice one. I’m tempted to get my km up into double figures, but I’m doing park run equivalents of 5km/half an hour most days on roads and I’m wary of stepping it up to 10km and getting injured, esp as carrying a bit of timber. I’d rather manage 5km most days than do 10km+ less often.

Managed to get my km/hr speed back up over 12 yesterday which I’m pleased with as it gets me into the 24mins plus for park runs.

I try and do one long one a week and then throw in 2 or 3 shorter 5/6/7k ones a bit quicker. Averaged just under 5:30k's today so hoping when i do some shorter ones i can up my speed to 5min k's comfortably.

Yeah, tbf that might be a way forward for me too, just doing one longer run each week

 

[SWP's back]

Why's that?

Tried it this afternoon and it’s impossible.

 

[BlueHammer85]

500th consecutive run done.

wanted to do 20 miles but could only manage 18 , had to call the Mrs to pick me up.

keep legs straight and elevated with ice packs/frozen peas on the shins. And do some light jogs. Worked for me.
