LM warmup (10 reps), 20 treadmill miles in 2:34:24, 7:43/mi, HR 157, incline 1, w/ last 5 miles Moderate effort, & stretching.

Left shin still painful at times, so decided to try a treadmill run to leverage better cushioning. That and the weather outside was windy, rainy, and just downright nasty. No pain during the run at all (at least, not from the shin), although it did get tough the last 5 miles or so as my hip flexors started tightening up. Treadmill running definitely works my hip flexors more than outside running does, but I was happy to get the 20-miler done. Even the slower pace really doesn't bug me much....I'm in the "treadmill running is harder" crowd.

Leg started hurting during the stretching afterwards but a good icing had it feeling decent again. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Wow - 20 miles on a treadmill, man I admire your mental fortitude! Longest I've ever gone on the mill is 16 miles and I swore I would NEVER do it again. I can hardly stand to do anything over 5-6 miles anymore.

Good luck getting over the aches and pains.

I had to find a movie that was 160 minutes long....even then it was tough. But the leg didn't hurt, so it was the correct call.

Yeah I did the same thing, I can remember the movie, appropriately titled "Catch Me if you Can". Thing is on the treadmill you're not going anywhere so it's hard to catch anybody.

I've done 20 on the TM, but never again! Then again, it takes me quite a lot longer than 160 minutes. :) Great job getting those miles.
