Back to Basics .....

I downloaded the post C25K podcasts as I was already running 5K on treadmill at gym as well as doing various classes e.g. body combat, body attack, etc etc. A couple of weeks ago I started to suffer with shin splints on right leg so took ibuprofen and put ice on it. I kept on doing low impact exercises and stretches. So with 2 weeks no running and desperately missing my cardio fix I thought I'd go back to basics and start the plan and do it properly - result, still got calf pain. Not attempted any running since just my low impact classes (am used to working out 6 days a week). So wondering what to do next, any advice welcome - thanks

Hi and thanks for your reply. I only do one outside run a week (its very hilly where I live) so am used to treadmill at the gym. Have checked my running shoes and they are ok. Did week 1 again today and just got mild calf pain so iced it up after. I've ordered a foam roller as recommended by Oldgirl so will see how I get on with that.
