Hi all,
As some of you know I've been running since 4th of Jan. and was suffering from shin splints and blisters. Then I was told that I over-pronate and bought some Nike Air Equalons in order to correct this. I haven't had trouble with blisters since but sometimes my shins really hurt after a run. They settle down but then start to hurt almost immediately when I start my next run (I run every two days).
Its not stopping me running but it is annoying..
Its usually my left leg that is far worse than my right and today whilst running up a hill my left foot went almost completely numb??
Is this just par for the course for a new runner?
Will my shins "strengthen" up?
Should I be looking at getting some sort of insert for my shoes?
Could it be to do with a lack of a proper warm up as I didn't really warm up at all today?
Any ideas/advice would be appreciated
Cheers
