Metalman Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I just completed the second week second day... Before I started my workout I was sore in my shins a little... So I decided to walk a 1/2 mile before I started my workout to get my legs warm... I ended my workout going 2 miles...I was on my treadmill walking at 3 ...(I'm assuming 3 mph)... I ran on 3.5... My shins are sore now but it was a great workout... Think I'll continue to walk before I start my workout to get warmed up... My question is, when does your body start building up to less soreness???

Azatol Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Everyone is different but in time, you'll start to feel better, but it never gets easy. Even after over a year, running still poops me out and often leaves me sore. it's a contact sport. The good news is you and your body will adapt. If you don't do it now, strength training can help a lot with leg discomfort. I know it's hard to workout after you run but it's best to do just that and not work your legs much on your rest days. Also Google "Running dynamic Warmup". It helps. Once you get past the C25K program you really need more of a warmup than just walking. I use most of "The Mattock warmup"(You can also Google that).

I fixed my shin splints with this running form: After switching my running style, I avoided the excruciating pain in my shins. For several weeks into the program, my feet/calves/shins were still sore as my body developed those muscles to support my weight during impact. Remember, pain is your body telling you that your body is out of alignment (suggestion to go to running store to have them analyze your gait). For soreness without pain, your body gets stronger each time you run and you will get to the point of not being sore. Bonzm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azatol Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 One of the causes of shin splints is lack of leg musculature. Same with knee problems. The leg is absorbing shock with the knee and Tibia because the muscles aren't strong enough to support the shock of running. As I have said before, strength training is a HUGE part of running and injury prevention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
