Smashed it and myself! Does anyone else get painful shins? 😳🙄

Great, you've now completed wk3. When you're running try and land as softly as possible so no thud thud.

Also this helped me going through c25k😊

Thanks, I'm going to try it, looks painful

😳, probably should expect it to be at 1st

Thanks Buddy34 x

Make sure you've got some moisturiser or oil on your hands first

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Well done, and good luck sorting the splints out 😁

I had slightly painful shins around week 3 and 4. I upped my warm up and did some other warm up exercises. But what really made the difference was getting fitted for new shoes. The problem has gone away! Good luck!

I used to suffer from shin splints, it was down to going to fast too soon. Once I slowed down they went away. Take your rest days as well.

Oh yes, that pain is not nice. Take the good advice from what's been offered so far and you should see an improvement. I had it when I first started and if I can recall, I think I did gentle stretches, along with the 5 Minute warm up walk with the C25K. See what works for you and good luck 👍

I am an arse! I realised I didnt do much stretching before or after yesterday.. even my toes hurt 😳, knees, but no run until monday now.
