Get Running Forums

think it may be called shin splints and I'm in agongy.
Should I rest this or fight through the pain?
I'm due to run tomorrow and its may day 2 of week 5 and will be gutted if I dont acheive this.
thanks all

Never never run through the pain, unless it's really very mild and goes away.

Sorry!

There is lots of good shin splints advice on the forum, have a search about for it, and also check out Google. RICE treatment is probably your first call, and getting fitted shoes too.

Sorry it's hit you. I hope you'll get around it!

Thanks,

thanks Ben, its actually far more painful when I walk then when I run!
Managed to do my Wednesday run but have my day 3 of week 5 tomorrow which will be my first 20 minute run and am geared up mentally for this!!
As I said its strange the fact that its more painfil to walk then run but worried if I'm making things worse.
