Basic running help needed
Discussion
My age clicked over to 35 years old and i decided that i really should exercise.
I found that running is by far the easiest method for me as i often work from home and have an hour or so between meetings. I started of by getting the correct trainers. I visited a Asics specialist store who conducted a 'gait' test and prescribed that i had inwards rolling feet. I left the store with a pair of Asics running shoe with a harder material compound on the inner arches to stop the inward roll.
My training started slowly building up to about 4kms three times per week. Each run was taking about 30 to 35 mins.
I noticed that my shins were starting to ache badly during and after the run. Is this what is commonly known as Shin splints? How can i minimize this pain?
I have now signed up for a 10km run in July for charity. I have been preparing by trying to up my distance each day. My max distance in an hour is 7.7km.
Any training tips?
