I always preferred to do it first thing in the morning, sets you up for the rest of the day. 

It’s hard getting up but once you are out on the road it’s all good.

It's most likely down to the bio-mechanics of your feet. If you have any pronation then you'll need to address it.

I've had shin splints since I was a kid and orthotics was the only thing that fixed it for me.



Used to always get what I thought were shin splints at the start of every pre-season. Turns out it was the muscle at the front of my shin bone, well to the side of it, that was weak and was becoming strained with the training load. 

Started to do strengthening exercises for that area with resistance bands and haven't had issues since. Would do strength training for my lower body without runners on too. As you mentioned, it's helped strengthen my feet which has helped.

@Coleman, I'd recommend doing as much as possible without shoes, even around the house, ditch flip-flops, etc if you wear them regularly.


This. Shin splints are generally issues in the muscles around the shin as oppose to any damage to the shin itself. You'd be amazed how much training your feet and ankles would help it. Walking barefoot around the house engages so many tiny muscles and joints that wouldn't normally be used when wearing shoes. There are also simple exercises on your feet and ankles you can do for 5 mins a day that would make a huge difference

Yeah if you are doing lots of running you need to be stretching and building up core muscles- squats, jumps etc 

Get a form roller and use it daily.

i must do more stretching. i'm a divil for heading out for a run without doing much if any stretches.probably why the first 1km is usually my slowest.

cheers. might have that looked into once the pandemic eases. 

There are lots of variables to consider too - stretching, strengthening your calves etc...

Your running style is important too - I got video analysis done last year and when I run, I lean forward a bit, and that causes your shins, and knees to take most of your upper body weight. This is a problem will contribute too.


I couldn't get over how much difference stretching makes. 5-10 minutes in the morning and evening makes the world of difference, even without exercise. There's a reason the likes of Ryan Giggs and Tom Brady, who were able to stay fit as they got to 40 swore by Yoga and plyometric exercises.

Fair play to you. I just couldn't get motivated for a virtual marathon and my distances have fallen back completely. I wouldn't be too confident on Dublin going ahead but I will be training for Lanzarote in December so fingers crossed that will go ahead.

Have a virtual marathon on the May bank holiday weekend.
Did 32km at the weekend which is the longest run in the training palnner and it's slightly shorter 25/20/16 in the next few weeks.
Have a friend running with me for the second half to help me through but it'll probably be a lot harder to run it without other participants.
Hopefully the Dublin marathon is back to normal by October.
