My Forum

I found the below link in a thread when searching the forum for shin splint advice.

I have rested for 4 weeks and I don't feel any pain in my shins.

I started the plan on Tuesday and completed the first day with no pain at all.

I had planned to complete the program or the early stages of it on a treadmill.

As I mostly run on road should I be carrying out the plan 100% on the surface I use most or will the first 3 weeks or so be best done on a treadmill?

I need to change my current footwear because theyve reached the end of their life.

I think i'll give the excell 33s a try thank you both for the advice.

Hi i'm new to the forum so go easy on me if this question has been asked numerous times.

I run a lot of bridleway, dirt track, road type routes with little if any real uneven terrains and never really muddy. I have been running with a pair of Nikes but they're nothing special and I fancy taking my footwear a bit seriously.

I've had my eye on the asics excel 33 or the nike lunarglide because i like the idea of them being light. Will they be ok for bridleways and the occasional dirt track or should i go for a more conventional outer sole like asics nimbus or nike air pegasus?

thanks for any help.
