Endomondo, I linked my tomtom multisport to sync with it. Keeps track of everything quite nicely.

Started running in December with Parkrun. Got my time down to 24:28 from 35:30. Only done a single 10km in 58 minutes.

Struggling with shin splints now. Have good shoes, but maybe should go the a good store to test my running style? Do foam rollers help? How long will shin splints take to heal if I rest?

 

[Rouxenator]

Yeah, sounds like your shoes are not suited to your feet's pronation.

Done a couple of full IM's over the years and got my times down to:

1 Mile 5:43
5K 20:50
10K 43:50
21K 1:35
42K 3:27

My fastest km was 03:31 (was dead after it though, but continued on the 5k route after about a minutes rest)

Best 5k - 21:29
Best 10k - 48:something
Best 12k 01:01:47 - my watch didn't track the distance correctly so I was holding back a bit on this I was very irritated when I saw the finish line in front of me a couple seconds after passing the hour mark

Haven't tried anything longer than 12 yet

Shin splints might be due to incorrect type of shoes sometimes but
Mostly the are due toe strength imbalance that can be corrected with exercises & stretching (and running slowly till you get stronger, you might need to visit biokineticist that specialises in running to help you get past the problem)
Shin splits should heal in 3-4 weeks (you can still cycle for exercise to keep fit)

Friend of mine struggled with shin splints... he went had special insoles made, lots of exercises and stretching and has done comrades 2x with times I can only dream of.
