Do you attempt this often? Was the tempo run planned Thursday, or was this supplemented to your workout due to not feeling energetic on Tuesday? Either way, excellent workout ending with a lightning fast last mile repeat. This should give you great confidence heading into this weekend. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>MCagainst the grainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049439265178028673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-11862399452319161262008-04-03T11:04:00.000-06:002008-04-03T11:04:00.000-06:00tyler-i have a ~3min series of crunches, push-ups,...tyler-<BR/>i have a ~3min series of crunches, push-ups, and pull-ups that i perform (very) sporadically after some runs depending on energy, motivation, and time spent lolling about in the grass and sun instead of exerting more post-run effort.<BR/><BR/>troy-<BR/>my stretching is generally even way way more inconsistent and way way less diligent than my core "training". which has most likely led to some chronic hamstring tightness...<BR/><BR/>katrina--<BR/>just know: i appreciate the irony of you posting here. thanks a lot for the luck.Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-42687470741805686782008-04-03T08:44:00.000-06:002008-04-03T08:44:00.000-06:00Tony,Good luck at AR on Saturday.KatrinaTony,<BR/><BR/>Good luck at AR on Saturday.<BR/><BR/>Katrinabugweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521844865710177022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-3343056626281368082008-04-02T19:36:00.000-06:002008-04-02T19:36:00.000-06:00Tony,What kind of stretching regime do you go thr...Tony,<BR/><BR/>What kind of stretching regime do you go through daily and/or how often?<BR/><BR/>Does high mileage on rocky terrain effect your lower back or sciatic nerve for example?<BR/><BR/>TroyTDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498253772059090875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-10240186991042212682008-04-01T10:34:00.000-06:002008-04-01T10:34:00.000-06:00anton,I'm currently training for the McNaughton Pa...anton,<BR/>I'm currently training for the McNaughton Park 50 mile race in Illinois.

And I'm tired of doctors who just tell you to not run for 8 weeks for just some shin pain! That's BS, as you and many others have confirmed. There are other options, as you both indicate, and I'll give them a try. Thanks again!<BR/>--ARArgentine Rockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050548326225373028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-41847395778962480702008-03-28T14:41:00.000-06:002008-03-28T14:41:00.000-06:00Of course I am not in the same league as Anton. I...Of course I am not in the same league as Anton. I generally only run about 4 days per week and always 9 minute miles or slower(save the occasional 6-7 min/mi. speed sessions which I hate). So I guess I have never had a SERIOUS injury that could not be ran through without a couple days rest, etc. To me running through an injury just means nothing more than a week off and you keep training for whatever it is you are training for. What do I know? I'm just a middle-of-the-pack, crazy guy who enjoys a good runner's "high"--never done drugs, but It can't be this good!Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404515725045879174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-89583581923263591802008-03-28T09:28:00.000-06:002008-03-28T09:28:00.000-06:00a.r.-basically, i iced like a fiend, got A.R.T, an...a.r.-<BR/>basically, i iced like a fiend, got A.R.T, and used the cold laser daily whenever it flared up. all in all, i think i used the cold laser something like 18 times---once 8 times in a row and the next flare up i used it 10 days in a row. i can't categorically say whether or not you should try to run through an injury. i've had posterior tibialis tendonitis (inside of the shin) pain that has lingered for weeks but was completely possible to run through. the most recent shin pain that i've dealt with (the anterior tibialis) was something i absolutely could not run through---i HAD to take days completely off otherwise it became incredibly inflamed.Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-91258122486139433562008-03-28T08:40:00.000-06:002008-03-28T08:40:00.000-06:00A.R., I know you didn't ask my advice, but I still...A.R., I know you didn't ask my advice, but I still think you just have to keep running through it. Maybe less mileage, focus on form, SLOW DOWN, etc. But you MUST keep running or it will just come back again.Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404515725045879174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-843830995890207122008-03-27T21:09:00.000-06:002008-03-27T21:09:00.000-06:00Tony,How great that your shins are pain-free!

You think that helped a lot? I've been having shin problems for months now and I'm not sure what to do about it. <BR/>Thanks!<BR/>ARArgentine Rockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050548326225373028noreply@blogger.com
