the only problem for the week is this

no knee pain, calves sore for 16 mins. Shin splints kinda sore.

try to focus on the treatment of these aches and niggles so that they can become something of the past

Good luck

TheEd

Sorry, I probably wrote that poorly.

What I meant to say was my calves were sore - as in the shin splint kind of sore.

Meaning one problem, not two.

Regardless, the message is the same, you want me to focus on the treatment of these.

Now what does that mean? Do I stop again? Or. . . Do I ice/stretch etc.

This pain for me seemed to be a "getting back into it" kind of pain. Like how I'd ache after getting back into a gym routine having been off for awhile.

I've seen this

Quote:Stop running, especially in the case of severe pain, if pain is mild, then reduce training load and intensity, and avoid downhill running and running on cambered surfaces
Take a course (5 - 7 days) of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(ibuprofen/voltaren/cataflam/mobic) available from your general practitioner or pharmacist
Apply ice to the shin area - for 10 minutes every 2 hours, in order to reduce the inflammation
Self-massage, using arnica oil or an anti-inflammatory gel, to the muscle only (along the inside of the shin).

Stretching of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Hold for 30 secs. Relax slowly. Repeat to opposite side. Repeat stretch 2 - 3 times per day.
Remember to stretch well before running
Return to running gradually
full recovery is usually between two to four weeks

Should I stop running again? Or just try the icing/stretching/drugs and see how it feels?

Oh, and was going to ask where abouts you are? I'm off to the UK in Exactly 3 weeks and 34 minutes Wink

Wouldn't mind a suggestion for a pool/track Smile
