I have to disagree with the comment on treadmills, i guess it all comes down to the individual, I have a friend who competes in many running events and does most of the training on a treadmill. I also rate them, on the road i can run 3 miles in 19mins which includes sprinting 3 hills. i struggle to ...

Yeah, i suffered with terrible pain for over a year and it got to the point where it was painful walking. I had custom orthotics made which relieved the pain but i still couldnt run pain free, it just wasnt as bad. I then had actupuncture which worked wonders, but after about a month they came back ...

yeah, the exercise rgj descirbed worked great but i too found it didnt remove the pain completely, i suffered from terrible shin pain. But, by using an inner tube around the ball of my foot i was able to add resistance, and that done the trick. Sit down, raise you leg so that it is straight and ...

Have you considered over the counter insoles or custom orthotics, i too have suffered from shin splints in the past, i opted for custom orthotics as i over pronate slightly. There expensive but worth every penny, and i can happily run pain free

Mine cost around £300, i had two pairs made up though and they are worth every penny!

Good luck!! You'll be fine with those scores

euro_andrew, i know how you feel. I suffered from shins splints for over a year and nothing seemed to work, i could not get rid of them. I decided to go for my prmc not having done much running at all. All my cv work was done cross training in the gym, 20mins bike, 20mins cross-trainer thing, and a ...

22nd Jan

I too have 22nd Jan, going luton AFCO on the 7th Dec for some kind of brief. I suffered from shin splints for over a year, i finally beat it with acupuncture, and have never suffered since!?

Just go down and enjoy it, i was bricking it before i went down but i really enjoyed it! :) I just passed my PRMC and heres how i done on the day

Push-ups: 51
Sit-ups: 51
Bleep test: 10.8
Pull ups: 6

So with your scores, you'll be fine. Just keep going on the bottom field, and in gym test 2, the ...

Im assuming, from what you've said, you have been doing nothing, and gone straight into running 3 miles? 5 days in a row?

Hi

No not really, we sprinted over a bridge, done a couple of push ups, sit-ups, and two sprints for a warm-up, had a stretch and then done the run which was quite a nice pace all the way. Gym test two though, we must of been sprinting for 20mins non-stop after those games, it was intense.

Oh yeah, and how cool was that slide thing! that was fantastic. Id just say to anyone going down, not to worry. I was shitting bricks prior to going down :) But i really enjoyed it, it was great fun, great experience, just hang on in there on the bottom field, and give everything you got in them ...

Hi there,

Just got back from the prmc, stopped off in exeter for a few beers, lovely :)

Sorry to hear about you ali, i did see you slip off the rope, i did also see you take several dips in the water too :( Its like the guy said above, it was only down to an unfortunate injury, so hopefully we'll ...
