Are your clothes slowing you down?
Chin Splints


A sharp knife pain along the shin bone when
running or after a workout.


Cause of problem:

Excessive pounding too fast too soon.
Sprinting on very hard surface at an early point in your training especially when you are not in peak performance.

Another reason could be your sneakers, examine if the are good and has enough cushion.

Weak muscle can be the cause as well especially weak calf muscle.

Not warming up properly another factor, try to warm up gradually and jump straight into racing pace.

Lack of stretching, try to stretch after every workout; give your muscle the flexibility it needs to repeat workouts.

Your muscle rebel when you push your training to fast this is one of the first symptoms of it. Try to ease of training and rest a couple of days. For the first 72 hours apply ice pack to the injured area, leave pack until it burns a while then take pack off, re-apply several times several times. After 72 hours heat can be applied. damp wet cloth  soaked in hot water drain cloth and apply cloth with durable temperature, try not to burn your self  or skin. Apply several times,
Pain killers can also be taken into consideration, check with medical professional first. During your rehab, you might consider cross training, biking and weights or swimming, I strongly recommend weight training. Before serious running training starts I recommend interval jogging together with weight training. This will give you a better idea where you are in your rehabilitation process.

For now just rest and recover.
