I went from no running to where I'm at by gradually increasing my running time by 30 second increments.<br /><br />I've had shin splints before and didn't get them this time, which I attribute to starting slowly.<br /><br />There are some really good beginner resources over at runnersworld.com.Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-9155516360974078052010-09-22T07:18:41.594-04:002010-09-22T07:18:41.594-04:00Does he have advice for beginning runners who real...Does he have advice for beginning runners who really don't want to get shinsplints like they did last time they went running?<br /><br />Currently I'm basically doing this:<br />http://www.military.com/military-fitness/air-force-basic-training/air-force-pre-boot-camp-workout<br /><br />With more like a minute of warmup before I start walking.joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678591289853894369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-13766781252481280422010-09-22T07:04:20.847-04:002010-09-22T07:04:20.847-04:00Here is the comment my father-in-law wanted to lea...Here is the comment my father-in-law wanted to leave:<br /><br />I think that you are progessing nicely! This coming Sat you might add some 30 seconds speed fartleks. After a warmup of at least 10 mins try running hard for 30 seconds then stop and walk around and recover for a min and then repeat up to 5 times. This will really get your heart pumping and in the end you will feel better! After this continue your normal workout. You can also do them at the end of your normal Sat workout instead of during. If you do them at the end besure and walk for 3-5 mins to cool down and be relaxed.<br /> <br />Keep up the good work!<br />MichaelRustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-75819393488015657302010-09-21T10:14:41.557-04:002010-09-21T10:14:41.557-04:00Sent!Sent!Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163970891615204620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990777158074596082.post-11349180392756702942010-09-21T09:43:21.013-04:002010-09-21T09:43:21.013-04:00That'd be dandy.

Then I can start doing fartleks! Which sound sooooooooooo fake.
