Can somebody advise me? Since one-and-a-halve week ago I am experiencing "shin splints" . My right lower leg feels like muscle pain: the inside of the leg and than towards the shin bone feels hard. It is not continously appearent but walking stairs or getting u from a chair, walking normal...

Dear sweating sisters, this is humbling: last dates 14 - 17 - 19 (that was W5R2 shin splints, I thought I'd take some rest: 24-10 restart with W5R1 my right leg is nagging me more: inside lower right leg towards the shin. It doesn't sting but is stiff. I have been blaming myself because in that week...

So here we are, the sweating sisters...... Hostiemostie: keep going, you will be fine, just respect your body. I had a light cold last week and took two extra days off to rest. It almost made me feel, or actually : it did make me feel quilty. I am a bit strict on this - always afraid that once I sta...

Good on you Dixie!! Stop thinking about how long you are going to run, just move and wait for Claire 's kind voice. In the past I had a tremendous dislike for running and I kept looking at my watch ; " when is this voing to end?" Now with this app I turn on the music and just surrender to ...

To my fellow-sister runners; good on us. Keep going. You know actually I do not care any longer what anyone thinks. I had a terrible dislike to running but not for sports. I am glad i can do 5 minutes now. I try to lift up my legs a bit and run straight, relax those muscles while running - not cramp...

Thanks, this blog is exactly what somebody needed to tell me:DO NOT RUn TOO FAST!!! W3 is going fine but I am a bit stiff in my leg muscles. I start off like a snail/turtle / elephant and do my complete time of 3 minutes. Only the last three minutes because I have some breath and energy left I push ...

Hi Di ie and Hostiemosti, i am just behind you in the schedule. Today W3r1 and i made it fine! Slow slow because I overdid it on W2r3 and have a bit of muscle acking. But changed sporting shoes for running shoes and that was nice. Even squeezed a bit more upspeed in the last 30 seconds today. You ha...
