Finally finished week 9, I have run three 30 min runs, but yesterday I only managed 20! I have my race for life on Sunday, and I am really hoping to get there! I am still getting shin splints, does anyone else get these? And is there anyone out there with advice for keeping it up long term?

Fantastic! Well done! Iam just behind you. Try checking the tags on the right hand side of the screen for info on shin splints. I think the new podcast will provide good motivation for post-C25K. :)
