Just came back from 5k while the boy hit the playground. It was a weight day, so I was a broke dick dog by the end.

Ran 1 mile on Sunday and 1 mile last night.

Logged another 6 miler today. My goal is to do 4 6 milers and one 8 miler this week. I'm trying to boost my weekly mileage by running more times per week, just fewer miles per session.

 

[SWScorch]

just got back from a 7-miler - 528

 

[RagingBITCH]

6 mile tempo + some interval/hill repeats - 534

 

[Megatomic]

The 6 miles from earlier, I didn't update the count.

my shins, feet, etc. used to hurt before I started doing minor weight & calisthenic training. Now, nothing.

Look at adding some plyometrics (especially quick steps and lunges) and squats, as well as stretching, to your program if you're not already doing these.

I have been on a core strength/plyometrics program for the past 6 weeks and it has helped my form and injury prevention tremendously. Prior to this, I had chronic problems with shin splints and stress fractures.

Thank you very much for this. I'm past shin splints as the muscles don't hurt anymore, and while I haven't had an x-ray yet, I'm pretty sure I'm into stress fracture territory as it is the bone itself that hurts when I run.

I do several minutes of stretching after every workout so I'm okay there, but I'll check out the plyometrics for sure.

Stand on just the leg that hurts. Now jump up and down on it a few times. If you can't do that more than 2 or 3 times, it's probably a stress fracture. Also, if you can pinpoint an exact location where it hurts (and will hurt if you push on it with your finger), it's probably a stress fracture. If you're able to jump and the pain is more generalized, probably just MTSS (medial tibial stress syndrome - what most people refer to when they say shin splints). Definitely see a doc and get a bone scan. An x-ray won't help as stress fractures are usually too fine to show up on x-rays. Good luck.

BTW, 6 miles today - 558

I was going to run today but the bike caught my attention and I rode instead. I love biking, I can't wait for the time that I have the money in hand to build a proper road bike. I'd go for a time trial rig but that's WAY too much $$$.

I just got back from a run. I can definitely pinpoint the pain. It's in the exact same spot on both legs, and when I push on it with my thumb it's the bone that hurts. I can sort of change my cadence when I run so it doesn't hurt so much, but after running it's pretty painful to walk on and I'm sure it'll ache for a few hours this evening. I'll take it easy for 2 days, it'll get better, then I'll go for a run and it'll pop up again.

Guess I'd better see the doc.

I'm shooting to do at least 10 more saturday morning, but it depends what my running partners are doing. Might be more as some are ramping up for San Diego.
