w3r3: knees (solved) and shins (not solved yet)

[MartinMX5]

just completed w3r3 and it was surprisingly comfortable.

On previous runs I'd had some niggles in my knees so started doing some of these exercises twice a day

These seem to be working, I took a few days rest since my last run and just did these exercises so that's working.

Still a bit niggly in the shins, especially when running downhill, not sure what that's about. Anyone have any tips that would be good.

Finally, I seem to only be running twice a week and not 3 times, mainly due to work schedules. I suppose that is ok and it is what it is.

I think you just do what you need to in life, you may find doing each week twice helps... and hope the kneee continues to improve...

I have a niggly shin, get mild ache when I start running, but goes away as I go on, maybe as I warm up more, started using a pair of compression calf sleeves which seem to help.

Twice a week is really the minimum, that's sometimes all I do, but do try to get 3 runs in..😊
