Shin splints? Both shins? How old are your shoes, and are they actual running shoes, or just off the shelf ones? (I know you had a small intro a few pages back, but too lazy to look)

+27: 17 long run on Sat, 10 mile progression run this AM

23,902

On another note, finally got over the heat "hump" so to speak...this 17 was a great confidence boost and I can finally concentrate on really ramping up for Chicago. First run I've had in a long time of that distance and felt I could have done 20.

yeah both shins, my shoes were about 1.5 year old new balances. I just bought new Nikes from the running store around the corner.

I've been icing them and stretching them once a day. I'm going to take the next week off and see if they're any better.

Do you still have shin splints with the Nikes? (Can't tell if that was before or after) Were you fitted into them? Also work on calf strengthening exercises (calf raises - seated/standing). Shin splints unfortunately could be a multitude of things. Icing them is a new one - haven't heard that normally helps, but I could be wrong.

Thanks Mel. I think my knee is rehabbed, no more problems. Now I'm looking for another 50 miler to train for. The one I wanted to do is off for us, my son has SATs that day.

They're just SATs my friend. But a 50 miler is forever.

 

[Megatomic]

True, true. But he needs to finish his applications/qualifications so that he can receive a full ride ROTC scholarship that's being offered to him. His SATs are good enough but he really wants a better score. There'll be other 50 milers.

7 miles yesterday, 10 miles today including a 5K in 17:13. Not my best effort but any means; I was running the entire time in no-man's-land (person ahead of me beat me by 30 seconds, person behind me was 1:30 after me) and I just couldn't get my legs to move. Need more long intervals; I can tell.
