Thank you shin splints
My plan said 30 minutes easy run and I did just that – well 31 to be exact, to get me home. I sat through a very boring presentation this afternoon at work and all I could think of was this run. Fine and dry and cold when I got home, so making hay, off I went.
I wasn’t out long when I started feeling tightness in my shins – a sure sign for me that my calves are tight. So I stopped and stretched and that helped and the tightness gradually went. But it’s a timely reminder that as I increase my mileage, I need to get back into my stretching and strengthening regime. Need to remember the lessons of last year. So thank you tight shins.
I got shin splints too and I was not even running. Not sure how I got it, but after walking home last night for a store I noticed my shins were sore.
Definitely tight calves for me. Might be worth a stretch and a foam roll?
I’ve meant to get myself a foam roller for the longest time 😂
Yes they are very good for working out tight muscles- worth the pain!!
