2 months ago i got shin splints and me being a tw*t kept on running for 3 weeks after it first started hurting, anyway eventually got to painful and rested for 5 weeks from running it is still no better so went to see a physio, he surgested i went for X Ray so went for an xray and i have a stress fracture in my right lower leg, i was devestaed when they told me but its my own fault . But lookin at it from a positive attitude gives me more time to do upper body fitness. Anyway as my medical is this thursday if i did it and put my aplication on hold for 3 months would i have to redo it? or would i have already gotten it out of the way.
P.S Dont be a nobber like me and ignor it, If you get a niggle in your shins stop running and do alternative exercises and my best advice is to get it seen to by a physio.
Cheers Bird

Nice one ref heart rate. Mine was 58 a minute when I joined. Dread to think what it is now 32 years later!
Shin Splints are no joke. I think I've mentioned it a few times on the forum. At the first hint of pain stop doing any training and rethink your training schedule. Beasting yourself is a pointless exercise unless your into that kind of thing.
The Corp will get you up to the required standard once your in. Just try to stay reasonably fit and you should have no worries. It's something I bang on about but why not get some Oppos and go Map reading? Fitness is only a part of training. Get yourselfs up to a reasonable standard vis a vee Map reading and the use of a compass and training will not be half as bad.

Cheers Artist and others for the advice, ill definatly look into map reading hadn't really thought about it before because its been fitness fitness fitness, hence the injury. Yeh as you say the heart rate is good but i WAS running the 3 miles in 19.58 which is good but not super human must just be natural i think giving up smoking recently probably helped. I want to see whats its gonno be like when i complete training, "err something isn't right here you havnt got a heart rate..."
Cheers all Bird

It was a cyclist named Inderan. Apparently free divers have a very low resting heart rate. They can lower it to around 15-20 bpm.

The purpose of using yoga and other relaxation techniques all focus on one thing – lowering your heart rate. During deep dives Pipin’s heart rate has been measured as low as 4 beats per minute.
