Lower Leg, Shin Splints
2011-01-20 – 2011-02-13
Grade: 2
Am going to assume that it is just a muscle strain and not a shin splint unless otherwise told...
Following a decent amount of rest (14 days no running approx which included being ill) when I went out again there was no pain. In the mean time I have been stretching my calves for 4 mins every day (while I clean my teeth) plus extra whenever I do exercise. Need to keep the stretching up. Aim: to touch my toes by half mara day.
Also I think my 1:50 target for the half mara might have gone out the window as it was going to be hard work even with the full training schedule. Might lower the target to sub-2 hours, which would still be a pb and would be more sensible I think.
