Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

in my case it's clearly a case of too much too soon.
I had them chronically in 2006 and didn't know any better than to run through the pain. I came off running altogether do to a heart scare and they went away :)

This time round I am coming back to running and pretty much went out untrained on a long run. Although pace was low, my lower leg muscles are clearly weak. I don't do any walking and all my exercise is condensed to probably my hour gym session.

I probably walk at most 500 meters a day. - ie from house to the car to the office and a few trips to the water machine.
Before I used to have a job where I was away from my desk and probably walked the equivalent of 3 km a day at least.

When you think if it like that, it's little wonder my shins are weak / imbalanced.

I have shin splints on my right leg. I think they were caused by high impact stuff from circuits.
Anyway told to have 2 weeks off impact stuff.
However, having not run since Monday it seems to be getting worse not better.
Anyone else experienced this?
