I have been running, but I have not had the chance to blog. OK, honestly I have not made it a priority. I just didn't feel comfortable trying to blog during my breaks at work, then early Monday mornings. I was a little down about the whole shin thing. I have still been running about 60km per week, however for the past 4, there were 2 were the mileage was reduced and I was either busy with re-insulating my attick or looking for a house in Pickering so that the whole family can be together.(just not going to happen)
This is what I found that helps:
- slow down, aprox. every other day, doubles 1/2 an hour in the morning and at night, stretch after each
- ice bath after long or fast runs
- 1000mg of MSM twice a day
- Custom orthotics ? Not so sure about these, but they don't seem to be causing any problems.
Tonight I ran 15km. The first 6.5 was at about the 6:00/km pace, the next 4 was at about the 5:00/km pace and the last was at about the 4:15/km pace. Damn it felt good!
In total it was about an hour and 21 minutes.
Yesterday I did some hill running at Hogs Hollow. Only 4, I think that I could have done some more because the legs felt really fresh tonight.
