Hi TheEd - sorry it's been a while. The article on shin splints seemed to be exactly what I had. However after a few days rest the pain went away. I ran the 10km fun run on Sunday 10th March and it was very hot (32C at 9am) so I took it easy. I ran 54mins 27 seconds.
I think I will use the rest of March to try and get some fitness back and drop some weight, and start again on the program in April when the weather should be a lot more appropriate.
I'll do some slower, longer runs on the cool days, and some classes in the gym on the hotter days. Then hopefully I will be raring to go and I can get a 4km time trial in at the start of April and report back then.
Thanks so far,
Rich
