@AuthoroftheFuture: Thank you sir

i cant do treadmill for very much.. i usually end up getting shin splints while on them.. i love running. i find it relaxing. stretching and good pair of running shoes will help.. interval training to help with speed. i have a 5k race im trying to get in shape for next month, racing my childhood friend and dont want him to beat me as i wont hear the end of it. ive been running for 20 years and he's only been running for 3 years.

@theowl: Shin splints are the devil 😅 I'm more of a fan of running outdoors, but concrete is also very unforgiving. Good luck with your race!

thanks im trying to aim to be in the 18's... yeah shin splints suck bad.. had them the last 2 years mostly because i was using the treadmill to work on speed. its mostly dirt roads where i live so not so much pavement. but the roads slope or have pot holes.. i use to run 11-15 miles every other day. but with the sloped roads i ended up getting iliotibial band syndrome in both legs. so i have to watch how many miles i do at a time. i can do up to around 9ish miles and im fine anything more i tend to have flare ups.
