I had to take a shit out on my run this morning. First time I've had to do that in months. I had curry for my tea last night. I don't think the two events are unrelated.

Can't remember where I discussed my shin splint ailment on this forum, but clearly not in this thread!Anyway, my daughter who's almost a qualified Chiropractor (6 months to go) has learned to KT Tape & has now taught me as well.A combination of magnesium gel, KT taping & compression socks has made a dramatic difference to my shin splints, pain went from excruciating to bearable in about a week and I'm pretty much pain free now and still running around 35 miles a week + cycling over 100. So thanks to whoever it was that suggested compression socks, good quality ones are well worth the investment.
Well done Gary on your run. If you are looking for another half local to you, try the Hastings Half on 29th March. Would recommend as it is one of the toughest courses I have ran, with long uphills Queens Drive and then once off the Ridge downhill towards the Old Town, plays havoc with shins. Then once you are on the seafront and you can see Marina Court in the distance approx 2 miles to go. Saying all that a great run well organised and so satisfying when you cross the finish line. Done it about 7 times over the years since first introduced back 1985ish, last one 2005. Take it steady and enjoy. All the best if you are tempted,
