Almost painfree, I can`t believe it.

Probably jinxing myself, but I did W6 R1 this morning and am sitting here reading the blogs and have just realized I`m painfree for the first time in weeks

I`ve been running with sore knees and a shin splint (left knee, left shin then right knee, one after the other)

Fingers crossed I can remain this way and enjoy my runs again.

I`m really hooked, even to the point of running in my dreams

Great news, you've done really well to keep going and get to wk6 with pains/shin splints, well done. Agree with snowyowl hope the worst is over

Well done! Although you do have a big advantage over the rest of us - you appear to be a horse

Im jealous! I hope you continue to be pain free - out of interest what did you do to help the shin splints? Im still suffering!

Hi claireB,

I searched the tags on here and watched loads of videos on YouTube.

I bought a foam roller and I was pain free after about 2/3 days.

It hurts like h''ll but it really did the trick.

There are loads of tips on YouTube on how to use it.

Hi Holly, if my old mare was as lame as I have been I'd have her on box rest and the vet out ASAP.

Me I just limped on

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments.
