This was brutal but I feel strangely happy that I did it

 

[handyman007]

Rested a month after getting shin splints, started running 2 weeks ago by doing 3 x 5km's a week @ 6 mins/ km. Upped the pace yesterday, 28 mins 45 seconds. 10 KM run on Saturday, so that's me for the week. 15 km per week and then upping my distance by 10% each week to keep the shin splints in check.

Same here. With all the mid week holidays my routine's taken a knock.

Will start with PR tomorrow and then it's back to normal again.

It would have a couple of years ago. I started out with a couch to 5k programme about 5 years ago, now doing ultra trails. Went from run/walking intervals 3 times a week, to now running 5 times a week including intervals, hill repeats, easy runs and long runs. It takes time but anyone can do it.

Didn't do Parkrun last week - Physio visit. Next 4 weeks will not run as well - Ramadaan. Back in June and will possibly will need to retrain the body for the shock.
