My Shins are pretty good. My legs in general are pretty sore from the race Sunday, I gave it my all in the end, but my shins got 100% better when I:
a.) slowed down my easy runs to about a 5 min pace and kept my HR around the 145-150 mark or lower
b.) started adding in the 30 min easy runs in between the harder workouts
It seemed I got stronger the end of August and through September along with a few more minor technique changes, so I'm still aware that splints are only around the corner with the right care and not over exerting during workouts I'm doing a lot better with it.
As for Heart Rate
I run with a Garmin 305 for all my workouts which has a HR monitor I just haven't always added HR data with my workouts.
My max as measured has been 193
So Im at about 148 in the 70-75% zone and 133-145 in the 60-65% zone.
What info could I provide that would give you a good snap shot of my current fitness level so I ensure I'm not training too fast during these upcoming weeks?
