  3. Shin splints???

    The program is customized to me based on speed and heart rate zones which I established from two tests. And I backed off and took it easy or off when I felt bad/tired/sore. I listened to my body, I don't want to kill myself. I will just take it easy, do some more research and what not and...

  4. Shin splints???

    So: 1. I don't think that I over stride, but I know that my cadence needs work. It has been something that I focused on when running.

    Thanks everyone! I am not as young as I look lol. I'm actually 18 already. And being barefoot sure has its limitations (gravel).

  10. Hello from South Africa
