Lead Legs!

[Ettie]

Started week 4 yesterday and the Shin splints are easing (a little) but still think I need to return to the GP. However, The lungs are fine when running and Im not out of breath but both legs are like lead.... Is this normal?

In my experience it is yes I will have probably one run a week like that its very frustrating

Someone on here described it as " ... my lungs are writing cheques that my legs can't cash". I loved that, it sums it up perfectly to me!

Cardio fitness improves more quickly than muscle fitness so it's normal. All you can do is eat well and make sure you are getting carbohydrates to fuel your runs.
