Dealing with shin splints for the first time in my life. This time last year I ran a sub-4-hour marathon and my overall volume has been way down since then so I'm really struggling to find a balance between enough running to keep me happy and satisfied without exacerbating the injury. It's frustrating to see myself struggling with efforts that were once my easy days.
I have 33 weeks until a 50k trail run, so hopefully that's plenty of time to heal up and get back to a good training volume.
Its a pain in the ass, but you will get through it! Just started running again after 3 months of on and off running and even 7 weeks of fully stopping. Trying to Balance my running now with more biking and strength Training.
