THUG Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Yeah I think its shin splints. Funny thing is I played soccer for 10 years in from grade school to college days and never had this. I wonder how I got this.. I think I'll just cross train to cycling.. 1) check your shoes, is it worn out? Buy a high-end new one that corresponds to your running gait (underpronate or overpronate etc) 2) lose weight. Quote Link to comment
daDJ Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 I had shin splints 2 months prior to a marathon. I switched shoes from NB 901 to Mizuno Wave Precision for greater rear foot stability. Quote Link to comment

koopahl Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 just registered for the april29 global city race...will try using the nike + ipod kit for starters... see you guys there! happy running! Quote Link to comment
daDJ Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 San mo binili? Have you been to the new Nike + store in Bonifacio High Street? It's the biggest Nike freestanding store in the Phils and the choices are extensive. I've seen the Nike + iPod items, however, I dunno if they're gonna be as good/comfy as they claim to be. Quite revolutionary I'd say. Bro, I haven't been running since my last marathon more than a month ago. My left calf is hurting so I'm giving it a rest. Have you heard of the Nike 5K run last Saturday at Fort Bonifacio? One of the activities of the Nike + store in High Street. Quote Link to comment
koopahl Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 given to me by a friend who hasn't smelled the pavement for a long time it's brand new and crisp in its box and has yet to see some action...but am not convinced if i do need it for my runs...i'm more than happy with my shuffle 2nd gen which is as unobtrusive as a pack of gum... the nike + fun run was the culmination of the nike + ipod sports kit introduction for runners and i think the whole affair is until april 30th...the run was just that, a fun run, giving the runners a chance to try the sports kit... its unfortunate you won't be joining the global city run but hey, the men's health trail run is a week after maybe you'd be around?
