I tried running before i used the elliptical and my shin was still hurting. So i used the elliptical for one hour, then i tried running again and it was a no go. I think i am going to go to the doctor tomorrow and see how my shin is progressing. I will let you all know more tomorrow after my doctor appointment. Thanks for reading and have a good night...
Today I tried something different. I use the stair stepper
for fifteen minutes and the elliptical for forty five minutes. I read on the internet
last night that if you want to keep your endurance use the elliptical and if
you want to run faster use the stair stepper. So today I did both. My shin
bothered me a little with the stair stepper, but not too bad. So tomorrow I think
I will use the stair stepper for ten minutes and the elliptical for fifty
minutes. Thanks for reading and have a good night. :)
I did forget to tell about my doctor appointment. Not much to tell
about. The doctor said that my shin is looking good and I also had him look at
my shoes for wear pattern from running. Well according to my right shoe pattern
I do have the tendency to have shin splints. So after some discussion he told
me how to fix the problem. I think I am going to try to go every week until the
shin splints are gone. One more thing we talked about. I asked him about
getting shin splints back after I start running again. He told me that as long
as I keep doing cross training that I should not get them back. He told me that
people who that just stop and do nothing while there shin splints heal are the
one that get them back when they start running again. I guess there was a lot
to talk about, oh well. Thanks for reading and have a great day. I will write
more later.
Afternoon:
When
I started my workout I was going to just use the stair stepper for ten minutes,
but I was feeling so good I decided to go for the fifteen minutes. When I was
using the stair stepper I did not feel any pain from my shin, but some burning
and I think that was from building muscle that I lost during this time of
healing. Then I used the elliptical for forty five minutes, I am starting to
feel better using that machine not as much pain. The elliptical is a lot harder
than I thought. So now what will I do, I think I will start asking God when I can
start running again. So thanks for reading and have a Great Day..
Not too bad of a day. I ran for a mile and a half at a nice
easy pace then I used the stepper for fifteen minutes and then the elliptical
for half an hour. My shin did not bother be too much, I felt a little tension but
no pain. I am taking my running nice and slow. Thanks for reading…
