aaaand today i'm really sick. woke up in the middle of the night with terrible neck pain and bad headache, was awake for a while, woke up again at a normal time and still with the headache. i took an ibuprofen and a sumatriptan (although it didn't feel like a migraine) and went back to bed until 1:30 PM. i'm functional now but head still hurts. maybe this is my body's way of saying, okay bud 40+ km for a few weeks is great and now it's time to dial it back before raising volume again.

Is it in the right area for shin splints? Lots of toe raises clears up shin splints like nothing else. I've never seen one single exercise fix an issue so completely as toe raises for shin pain.

I noticed you had a stiff neck a few days ago, and then got hit with the headache yesterday. That's how mine often presented themselves. Since I've been forcing myself to do more neck mobility stuff, they haven't been nearly as frequent. They are absolutely brutal when they strike, so I can sympathise.

it wasn't a shin splint. i had those in high school. this was too localized.

good call on the neck mobility. i carry a lot of tension in my scalenes especially. couldn't hurt to work on them a bit.

- run 8.56 km in 42:38 [last km in 4:24]
smoothly accelerated over the last km, felt nice. overall pace 4:58, with only first and third km splits over 5:00. it poured rain all day but stopped right as i got home. still had to pick my way around some mud and puddles and the track was slippery. i had it almost completely to myself. props to my 2-3 rainy-day track homies.

- treadmill extensive tempo: 10 mins @ 11.5kph, 10 mins @ 15.1 kph, 10 mins @~10.5 kph
total distance 6.15 km. 15.1 kph is 19:52 pace, although treadmill caveat applies. challenging without being too draining. good.

- run 12 km in 1:05:58

- stretch

did not look at watch. 5:30 pace is quicker than i meant to go (was shooting for ~5:40), but that's okay. shin (and corresponding spot in soleus) started bugging a bit in the second half of the run. not as bad as the other week but i'm icing it now just in case. rest tomorrow.

total for the last seven days is 52.4 km, most weekly mileage in a long while.

shin is not okay. fuck.

- ran 5.01 km in 24:25
shin started bugging after 1 km, wasn't too bad until after 4 km, should have stopped then. wanted it to go away but it didn't and ultimately overcame ego.

- stretch

damn it. did a little research earlier. confirmed that it's not a shin splint, which are definitionally >5cm in length. this is too localized for that. one other possible diagnosis is a stress fracture, but that seems unlikely because the pain isn't that bad. still may go get an x-ray. if anyone has other ideas let me know. ice and rest for now.

dno :/ that sux tho. whenever i got weird stuff in there (when verting), i'd wrap ice (wrapped in paper towels) around my shins tight, with an ace bandage. would leave it on there for ~15-20 minutes. seemed to help.

i get weird stuff in my shins occasionally, but then it disappears after a few hours, or by the next day. luckily.

as for running with it (eventually), soft (but not too soft) grass would be my approach. i'd avoid hard surfaces (track/roads). grass/dirt does wonders in my experience. i hate having to run on the road, to get to the grass.

but ya, sounds like you need some rest unfortunately. i'd still get some walks in etc.. to strengthen it up without freaking it out.

I've had shin splints before too. One good thing you can do is reverse calf raises to strengthen muscles that run down the front of your shins as well as the heel walks before and after your runs.

Heal up well man.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
------------------------------------------------------------------------

�Strength comes from the legs, Power comes from the torso and Speed comes from the arm.� � Al Vermeil
Arm also aids the legs in driving it down with power - seifullaah73

- superset x 3
-- pull up x 7,7,7
-- SLRDL x 10,10,10/leg

- GMB shoulder mobility circuit

- some random ankle proprioception thing i found while looking for how to cure shin splints

- leg raises x 10

very, very annoyed about shin. need to develop some kind of routine to do while i'm letting it rest (i.e. not running).
