Hi there, I’m new to this community. I am an avid outdoorsy runner (only short distances), hiker (Sunday morning hikes) and have recently started getting shin splints in my right shin. It’s crazy how something so minor can cause such pain.
The hike was twice as far as we thought it was going to be but STUNNING! Here’s one of the view.
In the last few days I’ve done a couple runs, walks and 1 longer hike, so I’m guessing it’s time to ease off the hikes for a bit to give the shins a break.
I’ve had so much advice from getting new running show (check - done yesterday) to ice and rest. But the idea of the kinetic tape intrigued me!
So here we go. I’m giving the kinetic tape a try together with my new running shoes and arnica gel. Did it tape it correctly?? First time for everything so YouTube was my source of tuition in this instance.
Maybe you all have some corrections for me. Then as soon as I’m less sore I can get back on the road.
I’m looking forward to sharing some runs real soon.
