Hi all,
A strange question for you.
I recently bought a new pair of running shoe's with full intention of running again after quitting before with shin splints, but that was a few weeks ago and I hadn't worn them until today because my shins a still feeling a bit twitchy (probably due to the amount of walking I do to and from work and my poor working shoes).
I finally thought to hell with it, I paid a lot of money for those shoes and intend to use them, so rather stupidly I went to the gym and jumped on the running machine.
I first did a fast pace walk for 5 minutes to warm up.
jumped off
did loads of stretching
jumped back on
jogged for 2 miles
walked for a few minutes to warm down and then stretched off.
the thing is I expected my shins to be throbbing now and me to be regretting it but they feel great, better than they have in ages.
so the question is have I been a silly boy and am I going get up in the morning and not be able to walk or is it possible I could have actually done my legs some good by training??
