23 yrs as a dentist........never seen it,. I may be showing my ignorance, but never heard of it either. Just spoken to colleague. He's never heard of it either.
I used a an eliptical cross trainer when I had shin splints. It kept me sane and most importantly didn't aggravate them. I found it kept my base fitness in check and stopped me going crazy whilst resting from running
Morning all. In my humble opinion, yes there are faults with this race but they don't detract from a fabulous post christmas run. It's a small back to basics 10km which is all the better for it, and still one of my favorites having done it for the last four years. I'd be gutted if i failed to get in-it's becoming a tradition. Keep up the good work and don't change it too much
I might as well comment although of course boring and irrelevent. The british guidlines are that antibiotic prophylaxis should not be routinely given. These recommendations have been in force for a number of years now. Phew, glad to get that off my chest- now back to running............
