Kryten, I've read this book and it is is a really interesting quick read. Some of the stories are very inspiring.

I did a 20 mile run 2 weeks ago and also got sore shins, did only a 6 mile run in the week and then did a half marathon yesterday when they were sore for the first 2 miles and then were fine. They hurt today though........

Ahhh - thank you.

I'm sure this is a very stupid question but I just came 8 out of 24 in the FS category in a half marathon - what does FS mean? Female ?

Hi Matt

Sorry I'll try to not make this too long-winded!

I'm doing my 1st marathon on 5th May and training has been going really well.  i did a 20 mile run on Saturday however and my left knee started hurting a lot for the last 5 miles.  This continued hurting for the next 2 days so i went to my physio who thought it could be my shin muscles.  She worked on them and my knee did stop hurting. She told me to put heat on my shins and to try and run the next morning.  I did 6 miles the next day (yesterday) and now my knee and shin muscles hurt alot! I'd had my 1st sports massage a few days before my 20 mile run where she worked on my muscles in my lower part of my legs so I don't know if this is something to do with the shin pain now as I've never had shin problems before?

Basically I want to know what I should do now - just rest? Everything has been going so well and I'm right at the point in my training where I should be doing the most training not resting and now I'm starting to panic!!
