Still running
I started taking it easy after I took that week off. Changed my running program to a less advanced one.
I firmly believe my shin splints were due to :
-never had run before
-bad form
-pushing myself too fast
The shoes I bought were bought at the Running room and were not 'off the shelf'. They checked my stride and made sure I got the shoes I needed. Not too concerned with that.
Should note that I did run 3 times a week and go to the gym 3 alternate days as well. However, I mostly concentrated on my upper body, figured the running would be good enough for my legs
I know better now and incorporate a decent leg routine in.
All in all its going pretty decent. Shin pains are merely troubling now and not incapacitating as they were before.
Now i just need to start eating better.
