Hi. I started doing c25k a couple weeks ago and Im doing ok with it..I think. Couple of things I'd like to know is.....
Do you get shin splints when walking/jogging? I never used to, and now, walking about 6 kms a day, I have shin splints for the first 2-3k of my route....then they disappear til next time. Suggestions? I hate the fact that it slows me down.
If you're doing c25k....How far do you get in the 31 minutes that it trains for? I don't know, but I think I should be getting further in the time limit. So please, if you're also doing the program...share with me
If strictly doing cardio....do you take days off?
ummmm....think thats it for my brainfarts for this evening. Have a great weekend and thanks for any and all input

I am finishing Week 1 of C25K and after my first run I was really worried about my shin pain. What helped me was watching videos on youtube of running form, in particular, landing on your forefoot instead of a "heel strike". The next time I went out I focused on this and my shins were OK. (But then my arches started cramping up really bad...so I guess I traded one for the other).
As far as distance, it seems I go about 1.8 miles.. but again I'm only in week 1, and very slow!0 -
