  1. The Race
    <p>??</p>
  2. The Race
    <p>I've been running for a few years now and I really hate the summer as all my runs are plagued with swarming mayflies.  Those flies will get sucked up your nose and into your lungs and in your eyes.  It makes for an annoying run.  This is why I love running in the winter with my -30c...
  3. The Race Expo - Running Gear
    <p>I've been running into between rain storms for the last two weeks.  I use my iPhone for tracking pace/distance/time so I need access to it.   I'm currently using a Belkin sports case which has been great but won't protect my iPhone from a torrential rain if I'm ever caught in it.</p>...

    <p>Thanks :-)</p>
  5. The Starting Gate
    <p>I am able to carry on a conversation whilst running.  I'm having a bit of trouble with muscle fatigue but that should resolve itself after I maintain this routine for a few weeks.  I may also need to give myself a break here and there.</p> <p> </p> <p>When I started the C25K programme I did...
  6. The Starting Gate
    <p>I've actually picked up on the last two weeks of the C25K programme.  My first two runs are 3 minute runs with 1 minute walks in between.  I actually end up running 21 minutes in total.  Next week I'm aiming for running for 20 minutes no stopping but I'll be ok with having to stop if I...
  7. The Side Line
    <p>I actually went and saw 3 different sports medicine doctors and they all concurred that I had compartment syndrome.</p> <p> </p> <p>I had the surgery back in May and I'm back to running with no pain for the first time in 20 years.</p>
  8. The Starting Gate
    <p>I've just started back at it after an injury and an operation put me out of commission for 10 months.  I'm extremely happy to say that the fasciotomy surgery I had completely cured the compartment syndrome problem.  I can't tell how nice it is to run without pain.</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm working...
  9. The Side Line
    <p>It looks like I do have compartment syndrome.  I had my pressure test on Thursday and the pressure in my anterior tibialis muscles got as high as 48 mm and were probably higher as it took the doctor a few minutes to ready the probe (boy that sounded very trekkie-ish).  It took nearly 4...
  10. The Side Line
    <p>An update:</p> <p> </p> <p>I saw a sports medicine doctor and he thinks I have compartment syndrome.  The test for that is dreadful.  I've just had a bone scan to rule out stress fractures and if that comes back clear then I can re-start my running programme (I've stopped it now for 2...

    Oh, not superfluous at all.<br><br> I did explain my shin problems to the sales lady at the Running Room before I even tried on any shoes. She checked my gait and suggested these. But I don't really think that the shin problem is a shoe problem as it happens when I walk up hills too.<br><br>...
  12. The Side Line
    Thank you for all the replies.<br><br> The big thing I am concerned about with stretching is how much worse that makes the pain when I start running. The stretching I have done is after walking for at least 8 minutes.<br><br> This problem started to creep up a couple of years ago and maybe 20...
  13. The Side Line
    I have been doing the C25K and I'm on my 7th week. I redid a couple of weeks when I needed to.<br><br> The problem I've been having and the I was most concerned about was my shins. I have been tentatively diagnosed with compartment syndrome in my calves/shins. I'm on a massive waiting list to...

  15. The Starting Gate
    Thanks! It was a nice hurdle to cross. Now running for the 30 min. doesn't seem so unattainable.
  16. The Starting Gate
    Ok, after spasmodic pain in the shins and calves I was a bit afraid to try the 10 minute run. I wrapped my shins and hit the pavement with my complaining husband (it was -15 c with wind yuck!).<br><br> I lost track of time and we ended up running for 12 or 13 minutes. And I probably could have...

    Good luck to you Yar <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile"><br><br> I'm still plugging along. My calves and shins are giving me plenty of trouble, but I've made it up to week 5 of the c25k programme...
  19. The Starting Gate
    That sounds painful. I have found that pushing myself can really backfire too. I am committed to taking it very easy this time.<br><br> My sister is hard sometimes. But she's my sister. If she wasn't with me she would be in long term care and that would be terrible. It was awful enough when she...

    I don't make resolutions. I had been waiting for those diagnostic tests and then decided to just go for it and listen to my body. Just happened to happen just before Christmas.<br><br> I'm doing this as a stress reliever too. I have my head injured sister living with me now and she is a bundle...
