Hi there can I join in too? Have recently started running (when I say running what i mean is fast walking/slow jogging! ) with the intention of running in events later on in the year.
As a newcomer to this I understand I need to build up gradually - however, when out last night I developed pains in my shins (shin splits ). I am going to try more stretching exercises than I have been doing and will also check my trainers - does anyone have any more tips on how to prevent this? Would it be easier if i was to run on grass for example?

Any advice much appreciated.

I had sore shins too when i started 6 weeks ago. I could hardly walk the next day! It does get better and I found it easier on my legs to run on grass - but harder work!

More or less gone, thanks... so I should get out for a jog over the weekend, then back in the gym next week :j Have managed to walk to and from work every day up till this morning (decided to have a rest today!), and a bit of wandering around at lunchtime, reckon I've covered about 25 miles on foot this week :eek: Talking of thighs, with my training for the Race For Life, I seem to be at the stage where muscles have tightened up but not gone too bulky, my thighs have definitely lost the little wobbly bits they had

Happy running everyone (or whatever else you get up to at the weekend :beer: ) x
