Went out today with the intention of doing a slow half marathon distance.
Got to around kilometre 3 and all sorts of "no, no stop it!" messages coming from my ankles and shins, almost abandoned it but pushed on- by the time I'd got to kilometre 7 I was starting to run quite freely and the pain vanished.
Is this just a natural warm up period? Wasn't much fun, if there is a way to avoid it I'd be glad to hear it.
