Well did a 4 mile run tonight and my shins are killing me. Tried a taping method I saw on a physio site and that did help, could have taped it tighter but it was first time and didn’t want to overdue it. The temp was -4C but the wind was 28km/h and in my face for half the run so it made it feel like -11C. Wasn’t bad once I warmed up the the mile walk home was very cold. I ran the 4 miles in 34:01 for a pace of 8:30 min mile. Did good stretching when I got home and iced. Also did a good hot bath before going out to warm up the legs. We’ll see how I feel in the morning. I ran along Rymal this time to Upper Paradise so the majority of the run was either on shoulder (dirt) or grass. I’ll do a two day lay off before my long run and then next week cut back a bit then a good week after that then my three week taper. Should leave me in good shape for the marathon.
