ok here goes.
I started increasing my mileage from 15 miles per week to say about 25 miles per week and started have a dull ache in my shin immediately after running. This carried on for a few times going out and on the last attempt I had quite sharp pain in the same leg as soon as I started. I carried on running just 8 minutes and decided I had to stop.
I put all the above down to shin splints and rested my leg completely from running for 10 days, I then went to a proper running shop to get my shoes checked out (Asics Gel 1120's) and he confirmed that they were fine for my pronation so didnt think the injury was down to my running shoes but more likely down to my increase in running mileage.
I went out on Saturday to do 15 minutes light running on grass (i normally run on pavement) around a field to test my leg and all was fine, walking back I had a few twinges but only once or twice. I got back rested and then went out again tonight and again done about 15 minutes on the grass but this time I started to get the sharp pain back again just every now and again but now im getting worried and abit down hearted.
If youve seen my previous posts Ive gone from couch potatoe to running 3-5 miles every other night and was well chuffed but now Im worried im not even going to be able to run for half an hour.
Can anyone suggest maybe a back to running plan or what I should be doing now as I really dont want to give up
