Bit more of a work out too as you are not 'bouncing' off the ground. I suffered shin pains as well and this has helped me. http://ausgirlscouchto5ks.blogspot....

Oooo yes! Your body is in a bit of shock with the exercise and you are using muscles you didn't use before! You must must must spend time stretching. My groin is my sorest area after a run. It means I have to spend a little more time and stretch this area a couple of times in a day. Have a look at m...
