    @Avidkeo Rocker squats (hold squat position while rising on your toes, then lifting your toes and standing on your heels) during warm up stopped my shin splints. My understanding is that it gets your tendons freely moving before you start using them. Rocker squats also stretch your calves, which goes with what @shanaber is saying.

    Oh! Trail Run Project rates trails according to difficulty! That is what I was looking for. Thanks, @7lenny7! This is how it rates the trail I ran today. I will poke around the site looking for something a little more beginner friendly.

    @amymoreorless I used the Trail Run Project to find the trail I did on Wednesday. It was marked as "84% runnable" and a blue square I think. I ended up hiking 90% of it. Definitely scout out photos of the trail if possible to see what the terrain actually looks like :D But I love that the TRP has an app, so you can make sure you aren't getting lost if you're somewhere with multiple trails, etc.

    @Avidkeo It's the Nike Run Club app. I clicked on their profile but it did not provide any info. But yeah, even 45 miles for 2 days in a row is a stretch to believe. Not that it matters, as it's not between runners. I just could never imagine "cheating" on these things.


    @katharmonic Welcome to AZ! You are here just when we got warm LOL

    Hi everyone, I would like to join this challenge for the month of March. I am not much of a runner but I am trying to complete the C25k. This is my second go around with it, the first time I got injured and had to stop. But I am back at it, just finished week one. I would like to be in for 30miles and a stretch goal is to be able to run 2miles continuously. I have finally made it to a mile, but it is still difficult.

    3/1: 2.43miles
    3/2: rest day
