Having a group would help me keep from slacking off when I feel like it, though.

I usually run in the mornings before my head gets all cluttered up....it's such a relaxing way to start a day. This run club meets in the evenings....so I'm not sure it will last, for that one reason alone. But, I'm always willing to try something new...you never know unless you try...right? :-)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363325295373323993.post-37866703162884375352011-01-07T09:41:25.411-06:002011-01-07T09:41:25.411-06:00I think I would love to run with a group but only ...I think I would love to run with a group but only one that has the same goal. The running clubs here are just for running not training for a specific half. <br /><br />And besides that I prefer to run alone.

Wondering if they will eventually strengthen those problem areas, and won't hurt after a while? I'd really, really, really love to start running without compression sleeves, and wondering if doing something like this will help? <br /><br />I'm so darned gun-shy about going back to where I was (pain wise), that I hate to mess with what's working for me now. <br /><br />Although, getting faster and more efficient sounds dreamy! :-)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363325295373323993.post-43565257616530448842011-01-06T10:51:13.075-06:002011-01-06T10:51:13.075-06:00Plyometrics will definitely aggrevate shin splints...Plyometrics will definitely aggrevate shin splints...but they'll also make you faster and more efficient. If I've already given you this advice, I apologize. I dispense it liberally and I've lost track of who I've already dispensed it to. <br /><br />When I went through bouts of shin splints in my early days of running, I used this exercise:<br /><br />http://www.arunnersblog.com/the-toe-raise/<br /><br />It's pretty simple and it worked very well for me. I haven't suffered from shin splints since I started doing it. <br /><br />Another alternative is to put a can of vegetables in a sock, then sit on a table, grasp the top of the sock with your toes and flex your foot upward.<br /><br />The idea with both exercises is to strengthen the muscles that control your ankle so they don't freak out and try to pull away from the bone when you run or do plyos.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279923861151876044noreply@blogger.com
