damn cardio!
ever since i started cardio again, each time i run the muscles below my calves hurt like hell... and i dunno why, i stretch for about 10mins before i go jogging?
heres what my daily cardio looks like...
2-3min jog | 5min walk | 2min jog | 5min walk | rest for a while at some gymnasium thing at the park (do sit ups and ****) jog for about 3-4mins and wallk 5mins...
the reason i only jog for 2-3mins is because after 2-3mins i'm out of breath, breathing very heavily and my lower leg starts hurting too (even when walking for 5mins)
anyone know why my leg's being a b|tch? or how i can avoid it from happening? and also is my cardio lookin good? or isn't enough?

it's not really shin splints, i've had the the same problem lately, i ain't figured it out, do some biking or something and take off on that running, but c u have to bike like teicee as far as u run to get the same effect, or it all dependz on ur speed or w/e, just do some biking and stretch ur calves like 3 times a day, even when ur sittin down just try to pull ur toe up as far as u can, thats one of the wayz to stretch ur calf slightly...Originally Posted by mizzOeahhh i see.. ****? how long do they take to heal? how can it be call shin splints.. when its behind the shin?

yea those arent shin splints...i was just correcting what the other guys said
the way to stretch that part of the calf is to bend ur knee a little so it takes the tension off the upper calf and onto the lower. do it while standing.

yeah, an easier way i use is to stand maybe a step away form a wall or curb, rest my toe on the wall/curb and lean forward, you will definitely feel a stretch. I'd have to agree with the others, you don't have shin splints. Just your average soreness. It'll probably be that way for the first couple weeks, as your body adjusts to the strain, and gets stronger. I also would suggest stretching right after that first couple minutes of jogging, stretching warm muscles is better tha cold. At least that's what my track coach has always told me, and he's been around quite a while.

I have some advice for you that may help with you getting out of breath and shin splints.
Start slow. Really slow. Jog along, fully extending your foot downwards and pushing off of it, right down to your toe. Don't lose this nice rythm. Breath in through your nose out through your mouth. Feel your whole body as you move. Try to flow. Only speed up when it feels right.
I'm probably more apt to running than you, but when I start off like this I can run for 45 minutes straight and only speed up the whole time. It hurts alot at first, but it's so worth it to get into a rythm and not even think.. just run and run and run. =)
