Don't know if it will work for you, but what usually worked for me was to walk off the shinsplints. Just one foot in front of the other. Sometimes I was almost down to a shuffle, but after a few minutes I could start at least jogging again without pain. Couple of times I had to take some time off, though. Good luck with it, shinsplints can be tough.

Thanks. I went for a light run yesterday - maybe 1.5 miles - and today the shins are better. I just took it easy. I think my last run was probably too aggressive.

Unfortunately last night my neck started aching like crazy. I don't know if I did it running or from stretching my neck too far after cooling down but now I can't turn it without it hurting like hell. I have been told previously by a massage therapist that I have something wrong with my c4 vertebrae (?) and I am pretty sure it is the same area. Hasn't acted up until now. Ive had a heating pad on it all afternoon but I'm kind of worried about running Sunday now.

I usually don't run any further than a 5k except for when I run the Peachtree Road Race. Never had any shin splint problems. I figured that's bc I don't run long distances. Anyone experience shin splints with short runs?

Mine began less than a mile into my run.

Hmm I just always thought you got them running long distances bc I've never experienced them. Doesn't seem fun though.

It can be a combination of a lot of things. Lots of longer distances, poor form, shoes that are worn out, shoes that are wrong for your feet.

Completed Knoxville 5K in roughly 27:17. Don't have official times posted yet. It was cold and too damn early but it was well worth it when I got to run down the hallow ground that is SWF.

I am looking to do the Nashville half in November. I have a lot of work to do.

Great work!

I forgot all about the race, but was shocked to see my neighbors returning from the race by 9am!

I meant to run it, but decided not to take the trip. I have the half in April to train for.

Haven't posted in this thread in a while, but ran the Knoxville half today. Finished in 1:49

Next race will be the Nashville half at the end of April.

Thanks!

My official time was 27:13. My last 5k was 27:58 so I have almost improved by one minute. I should start waking up early on Sundays because I felt like I had more of my day left. Probably not happening lol.

I've started to run in the mornings due to work. I hate it. I need to rethink my hydration and nutrition.
