My legs have been getting progressively worse, as in my shins and ankles have been hurting more and more as I get beyond a mile or more.
My gf (she is a xcountry and track coach) is going to come up with a long term running plan that I am not allowed to deviate from. Going to take a week off, let me legs heal up, and I will go back to basics. Running a mile at a time for a couple weeks and slowly adding 1/4 miles.
I was thinking of joining a running group and see if there is anything wrong with my form. She says it looks fine, but something has to be going on for my legs to react this way.
Either that or my body is just not used to running and I have to baby step my way into it.

I'm worried about experiencing something like my compartment syndrome. Don't want to go through anything like that again.

I know you say you don't like running is shoes with too much cushion, but some people just arent meant to run in minimalist (or in your case racing flats). I known if I race longer than a half marathon in my flats, it beats the hell out of my legs.
It might be worth looking into something with a bit more substance to it. I cant say enough about either the Kswiss Kwicky Blade Lights, or the Blade Light Runs.
I tried running in my Kinvara2's then I switched over to my flats. It felt like I couldn't land on my forefoot with such bulky shoes on.
Perhaps I'm over pronating, which is resulting in the anteriorlateral leg pain. I'll look into it and see if I can research anything.

Forefoot landing isn't the only "right" way to run. ;). Plenty of heel strikers that run for years and years injury free.
I'm just trying to find "any" way to run right now

It's funny I checked on this and I see Corytrade talking about doing an ultra.
I'm really interested in it (mostly all of you guys to blame) and might be signing up for my first.
I have my firsts marathon on June 2, and I found an ultra on Oct 5. That gives me roughly 1 week of rest after the marathon and then 17 weeks to train. I think that's enough time, or so I hope so.
I'm more interested in those longer endurance runs, though I am in no means a fast runner as it is. I am thinking I can hit a 4:30 marathon, but going for a 4:45, being first time I have no idea what to expect.
Do you think signing up for a 50k is an insane thing to do before even having done a marathon? I'm loving running and want to have goals to achieve.
Also, I'm not in a trail running haven, so unfortunately I really don't think I'll be able to do a lot of training on trails, though I'll do what I can. Fortunately my area is very hilly so I can definitely do hill workouts at least.
Glad to see there's another new guy who is also getting into ultra running. I don't see why signing up for a 50k before a marathon would be crazy. If anything it forces you to stay focused because you are more invested, like I said before I am training straight for an ultra. A 4:30 marathon time is nothing to scoff at, most people don't walk 26 miles in the entire month, so be proud when you do it. Good luck and keep us posted on your training. Post your kicks in the running shoe thread if you haven't.

I like to have food in my stomach before I exercise, especially if i'll be running any long distances. You have to have fuel to be able to perform you know. If I run in the morning, I'll usually eat a bowl of cheerios or a bagel.

Hey quick question guys, is there a pre cardio supplements I can take before going for a run? Is light breakfast or empty stomach better? I usually feel weak and sluggish I'm doing a cardio in the morning. I think it all depends on the person. I can run for up to an hour on an empty stomach, and when I run first thing in the morning that is what I do.
This. For training I rarely have anything before a run in the morning. For races I try and fuel up as best I can.
I have found that I really like the Gatorade Prime pouches. Suck one down before a long workout and it works really well for me.

Welp I went and did it. Signed up for the 50k at Oil Creek on October 5th. (http://www.oilcreek100.org/Home)
Training is going well. I did 14 miles last Saturday (longest run ever so far) and have a 15 miler this Saturday. I didn't run for 3 days and last night did 7 miles in 58:31, which I know that's recovery speed for some of you guys, well for me that's extremely quick! So I'm proud of that.
I started reading Relentless Forward Progress and it is interesting so far. With lots of typos, lol.
Nice! Thats plenty of time to get ready for a 50k, especially if you're already knocking out 14.
I'm 3 weeks out from mine and feeling confident-ish.
Did 53 miles and about 4500 ft of elevation so far this week, including a 22 today.
It was a good run in that I fought thru it and knocked it out despite never really feeling that great, and it was bad in that I never felt great.
I'm hoping its just cause I need a rest day, ran the last 2 weeks straight and did 5x 1200m hill repeats on Wednesday that left me feeling kinda beat.

I guess I'll start checking in, since I'm apparently back in the saddle.
Tuesday; 3.5ish outside, roughly 8:30 minute pace. Felt good
Thursday: 2.65(i've got a loop across two bridges), roughly 8min pace. Got back inside and threw an extra mile on the treadmill. I thought about doing a double loop, I think next week I'll do that for my "long"
Friday: cycled both ways to work, now my ass hurts. Plus a 2 mile "walk"(30minutes) with co-workers to get them working out more.
Add in 2 days of weights, a day of snowboarding(cleaned up my tail grab and method, thanks) and a day of gardening and that makes up my 7 days.
Thinking I might got for stupid and add a 8 trail run tomorrow. I feel good as a whole. That will be my longest run in months, and I've only done 10+ in a week once in March. What could go wrong?!?
