W6 R2.

Disappointing end to the run. Despite managing to complete the 2 10min runs my shin pain reduced me to a hobble for the final 5 mins.

Don't know why I went out to do the run. I'd all ready decided to run indoors during the week then do r3 outside on Sunday.

It's now looking like I'll have to bike round on Sunday while my wife does her run. Then do mine on the treadmill when we get back

I'm finding it very frustrating that running outside causes me so much discomfort when running on the treadmill is pain free

I will make it end of the program l just wish I could do it all outside

Take it easy! You will get there! there has been a few comments about shin pain & a lot of good tips. I always go slowly got gait tested & new trainers & that helped a lot. It's funny I've never ran on treadmill just outside on Tarmac . I always stretch when I come home & have a soak in the bath too! Good luck & don't give up! Graduation on treadmill just the same! 😊

Have you had gait analysis for decent shoes? Such a shame not to be able to run outside ( I'm not a fan of the treadmill!!) . And also do you do strengthening stuff? The ankles take more of a bashing on uneven terrain....

Hi juju. No I've not had my gait measured yet. It looks like I'll be needing it done tho. It just really strange I can run all day on the treadmill (figure of speech) without any discomfort or shin pain. But 15 min or so into a run outside my shins have me limping home. I'm going to stay indoors all next week and do week 7. Then try back out for week 8

Give yourself a break. You are running and making progress. I am sure you can get your shin pain sorted and will be able to run outside. I found gait analysis and the right trainers have helped me and a lot of others.
