Shins and Knee issues...I feared this day would come. Need help!
I'm training for a marathon and I'm right in the middle of the "down and dirty" time of the program. I will log 34 miles after Saturday. I feared the day my body might start wearing down.
My shins are sore and every once in awhile my knee will hurt a tad. It isn't so painful that it causes me to stop. However, it doesn't make running any easier. I need suggestions on how to get past this and ideas to prevent from an injury. Here is what I'm doing- I've purchased new shoes (was fitted by Run On) and bought special socks. I only run one day back to back, but the other days I have a rest day in between most running days. I ice and take pain meds when they're giving me an issue. Anything else I can do? Stopping the program is not an option. I've got to finish this goal. Please help.
