Update on IC

[JaySeeSkinny]

If I'm lucky I may have got off lightly. Had a very sore right shin on Friday, following on from a 10k on Thursday. Self diagnosis said shin splints and the Internet paints a dark picture. So I tried to do as little as possible at the weekend and have cut out my walks and runs this week. There are signs of progress - I can now walk at least 500m before my shin protests - and then it's only a niggle, not the pain that came with every step at the beginning. As if I'd been kicked in the shin. So I'm hopeful that I may be back running quicker than the Internet predicts.  Not yet though. Need to be able to walk a lot further before I even consider it. 

Meanwhile the sun is shining, my energy levels are rising, I'm reading all your posts and trying to reassure myself that this will go away and I will be out running very soon. 

Happy running, everybody!

You will be out there, soon.. you are being sensible and doing it right!  

Slow progress and so frustrating for you..but you will be back on form soon.. Big Hug x

The sunshine is making us all feel happier, especially nutty me, as you know!

As PoppyPug would say, this too will pass. It won't be long before you're back out there, so why not regard this week as a routine rest week -all the best runners take them occasionally to avoid overtraining. 😀

Ouch, that sounds painful and very frustrating

Are you able to do other exercise in the meantime? Like cycling or elliptical?

Fingers crossed it clears up quickly - very quickly!
