Splints splints again

[Guest guest]

Last week my shin splints returned, but at the moment I only have pain

in my left leg. As a result, I've stopped running and switched back to

the bike for my cardio. Since I have one of those " all or nothing "

type personalities, it's been a major setback for me. I find it

difficult to replicate the same level of intensity on the bike and I

can't get excited about the cross-trainer either. They are both a bit

boring to me. I'm finding it a lot harder to stay focused now and just

feel frustrated with my workouts in general. The frustration seems to

have spilt over into other areas as well, such as, being less strict

with my meals and portions. I also started thinking something like,

well, I'm not gonna lose any more weight now and at least I'm better

off than I was when I first started etc. It's just not good and I

don't know how to regain the focus and drive I've had for most of my

challenge. I've only got three and a half weeks until I finish my

first challenge and I would really like to finish strongly. Any

suggestions would be dearly welcome at this point.

Try a cycle class or two - I can near on guarantee you will pick up ways

of pushing yourself as hard as you did when running. Take a yoga class.

My gf suffers shin splints but has no issues when she takes a yoga class

or more a week.
