I really believe strength work is as important to running as recovery stuff (mobility,roller) and the running itself. If you haven’t already I’d recommend getting a specific programme from a good sports physio or PT who understands what specific weaknesses need addressing - I’ve found this invaluable. Different issue, but hip flexor issues made long runs painful, this year I did my first 50 miler with no issues. Good luck with it, onwards to Valencia!

I've struggled with medial shin splints (inside of the shin) for 10+ years so I know what it's like! Despite being quite fit I had to always take 2 rest days even after an easy 5k run in order to avoid the more serious pain... Last year I was finally able to finish my first half marathon and I think it was mostly a result of strengthening the tibialis anterior muscle (front of the shin) while also stretching and releasing my calves. You can search for "tibialis raises" or "toe raises" for the strengthening and just basic foam rolling and stretching for the calves. Now I'm getting back into running after some other injuries and just today struggled big time on a very easy run due to the pain, so I have to get back into that routine which worked last year. Another thing I just want to mention is that physical pain can also be caused by mental stress, and it's surpisingly often a component in chronic pains like this. I never thought I could have something like this but went through it with back pain/sciatica and thanks to that experience I now think the chronic shin splints may also be somewhat related to stress. If you're curious, I would recommend watching Dr. Howard Schubiner's talk at Google here on KZbin. If nothing else, it's quite an interesting topic and something I think everyone should be more aware of I subscribed and hope to see you complete a full block of training en route to a marathon PB! :)

Could the cycle of shin splints be because as you say whne you are able to train you train quite hard. maybe reduced speeds and distances when you train and perhaps a gradual increase in these over many months could work for you? I had repetitive achilles injuries for 10 years. But have been injured free for 18 months now.... starting with 8.5 min/km and now at 6min/km which isn't quick but I hope to be into mid 5 mins / km by this time next year. That would be slow for most but for me am happy to get there even if it takes forever (am 57 years old so no spring chicken lol).... hope this helps?

Yes i believe the pacing gauge for your speed work session all display the same however some watches may display it differently. You wont get a pace gauge when just out for a 5 mile easy run for example, its only there when you are doing sessions with pace like intervals.

For me it's plantar fasciitis. I'm beginning to face the fact that at the age of 44, I can't run more than 4 times a week. Even better would be every other day so 3-day weeks and 4-day weeks. I've added in treadhills (walking uphill on the tread), rowing, and a spin bike for cardio cross-training.

@breaddinosaur4444Ай бұрын
The more I get into running, the more I think that proper training plans are really (in a polite way) repetitive but effective. The problem I have with Runna is that they have to justify the ongoing cost - so they introduce new sessions every week to keep the interest/variety and skew too much higher intensity work. I think it’s because if they did a more traditional plan then no one would justify the cost. I am doing a Jack Daniels plan, which is great (and from a book) but no way would I pay £8-£15 a month to be told I’m doing 2x2 miles or 3x 2 miles and a long run with x miles marathon pace every week then arrange my own easy runs based on what I want to do haha. Hope your injury gets better, easy pace and volume sounds like a great plan.

Like you I have stopped using the Runna App - whilst it guided me to a 47:23 over 70 PB at last year’s London 10,000 where I finished 1st in my age category I was finding that my body couldn’t cope with the sheer volume of sessions which included faster running and in the end I found I was only doing 1 or 2 of the set sessions each week - as such I couldn’t really justify the cost.

@@FoxBox72 I tend to agree, especially as I have ti constantly manage an issue for training. It would be good if Runna would allow you to select how many high intensity speed work session you want to do each week, as automatically scheduling 2, as well as some speed into the long runs, doesn’t work for everyone. It’s deffo doesn’t work to the 80/20 rule anyway!
@DTGMRunsАй бұрын
I'm not familiar with Runna other than having heard about it but only one easy run per week sounds like it could be a significant contributor to your injury frequency? I've not heard of any training method that would use only a single easy run.
@gimorunsАй бұрын
It’s the one gripe I have with it to be honest, I think there is too much high intensity in a week for the average runner. I usually train 4 times a week, the first session is always an easy run, but then the next 2 are speed sessions, my long run is a mix of either easy paced or some form of interval long run. For me, that’s too much loading. I wish runner had an option of how many speed sessions you want to do per week, I’d choose 1, as that’s all my body can take. But I don’t believe there is the option to do that, which is a shame.

Watched your entire vid. I can fully appreciate your comments about being competitive and not wanting to be a jogger. My suggestion would be that you need a very long time at easy running paces without the speed work. And to supplement that and get the endorphin rush of higher intensity work perhaps look to some form of cross training? On a bike or elliptical. I train with Runna too and it does having you running at very high intensities. It has tempo paces that are much faster than threshold and some very fast intervals. If your plan is 3/4/5 days a week it also has a high % (often over 30%) of your running paces over easy. Just my thoughts and I hope something finally clicks for you.

I had a similar issue with shin splints but I started using to foot shaped zero-drop shoes (I used Altra Escalante's but I have heard Topo is another brand which makes such shoes). Dont know if you ever tried such shoes, but it did end up helping me. The first few months were difficult as the legs take some time to get used to running in zero-drop shoes, as building the calf and feet muscles to be able to bear the loads from running takes time, so it is recommened to increase milage in them slowly. Hopefully that helps you out.
