JamesP_81 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I used to get constant shin pain as soon as I started running, found out I was tying my trainers to tight and that was it! Had this exact problem years ago, couldn't run more than a few hundred yards before my shins were burning so bad , put me off running for a long time . When I started running again this year the same happened but when I loosened my laces off it went away and never suffer from it any more. Had never actually heard anyone else describe that before so good to hear that it wasn't just me imagining it ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty meadow Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Done the 10k in Glasgow on Sunday. Only my 2nd time doing this distance but loved it from first step to the last. Probably the first run I can remember actually enjoying but a bit deflated now that it's over and struggling for motivation to go out for a few miles tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Usually go for a run early on Wednesday morning before work. With the shin injury I thought I'd be able to get a few hours sleep plus I could give blood later without worrying about it messing up my running in the next few days. WRONG! Woke up exactly when I usually do, feeling unwell and couldn't get back to sleep. And because I've been ill I shouldn't really give blood.

Guest bernardblack Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have the worst pain behind my left knee after the half marathon....pretty swollen still three days later. Any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 11 hungover miles today, with some steep hills and a bit of cross country thrown in to finish me. Some carry on, legs are absolutely gubbed. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ran the Linlithgow 10k yesterday. Got round in 52 mins which i was pretty happy with. Loads of hills on the route, so anything under an hour feels like a triumph to me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ran the Chicago marathon on Sunday - they know how to put on a show! Despite the massive field of 40k+, I was into my stride almost straight away. In typical American style, the roads are really wide pretty much the whole way round.It was unseasonably warm though, getting to around 23-24 degrees in the later stages, which inevitably left me burnt!Happy enough with my 3:27, which includes a pitstop to address some backed up issues around mile 11. A first during a race for that, and hopefully a last... and the legs don't feel too bad, thankfully. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 That's a phenomenal time, well done. I couldn't go that quick if you threw me off a building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there a couple of years ago around this time and it was fantastic. Guessing there's a good buzz with the Cubs at the moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And thanks everyone else!)I loved it - probably didn't do as much as I could have, but enjoyes the Field Museum & the architecture boat tour.Was great timing being there as the post-season started, the city was nuts about it. Couldn't justify buying tickets to Game 3 though, so had to make do with seeing the Bears lose again instead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the boat tour is great. I'm not into architecture but was able to appreciate the buildings. Different to other American cities where the tall buildings all look the same. The night I got there two years ago was the first time the Cubs had made it as far as the equivalent of the semi-finals for the first time in years. Didn't really have any interest in baseball before that but it was crazy being there for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 First marathon today. Maidstone 3h 38 on a course that could be described as undulating at best. Dissapointed with the time but with absolutely no training,( 15 miler 8 weeks ago) a bit of a hangover and the night spent up with a 8month old buggering around I suppose I can live with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Bah, my running has really gone to shit. I've bought myself new trainers to try and motivate me, but I've still not been out in them. Grr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got form over shorter stuff? Just wondering why you're disappointed!Not a bad weekend of running for me...got a 1st finisher for my parkrun profile (really small, slow run!) & got myself round a rather scenic Niagara Falls marathon on Sunday. My legs hated me afterward, but miraculously feel fine today. Timed at 3:41 compared to last week's 3:27. Like I say, heavy legs! Humid as anything, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Defiantly no gift mate. But I have been running for a few years mostly 10 k and x country stuff. Not world beating times but was hoping when I signed up to be sneaking under 3hrs and already adjusted my goal to around 3h 20. Small slow field. Don't even mention it. A win is a win. And a win is the best running you race on the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 10K in 56.01 today. I’m more a fan of the 5K but am happy enough with that time today. Beautiful day fir it as well in sunny and not too breezy Arbroath 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
