Tell us about your training.
I don't have much time, so I did long runs at a 10 minute pace each Saturday before. First I did 7 miles, then 8, last run was a 10 mile. I go out every am with my dogs and we do 3 miles, it's a run/walk with them. I take a step class and body strengthening class twice a week. This works for me. No shin splints, just my legs are a bit sore.
