How Fast Can I Increase My Level Of Fitness Without Getting Injured?
I’ve always lived and loved fitness (running in particular), I completed a half marathon in may, and while training I got shin splints, which I am still trying to get over. I am gradually increasing my milage, and mainly running on grass (with each time I go, which I have limited to once every 3 days) a few more seconds on the pavement. I have started walking, and usually walk about 5 miles each day. However, I have noticed pain in my achilles tendon, and I also have a painful hamstring. I desparately want to increase my fitness but it seems I am plagued with injuries.. Has anyone got any advice on how slowly to take it? I would love to be able to run on the pavement for miles at a time several times a week..
oh, and I am joining the gym in late september as soon as I get back to uni.
