[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. How can I start slower? I power walk/walk, sprint, run, walk on and off for a mile. Should I do less than that?[/quote] Yes, you should do less than that! If your body hurts, do less. And then you can build to more. What I’ve done when getting myself back into running (I get back in then fall out a lot) is set a distance, generally 2.5 miles, that I’ll cover. The first months is walking with some jogging. Not sprinting! Like 30 seconds of jogging then 2 miles of walking. Slowly add more. Some part of you will be what holds you back - your cardio fitness, or it sounds like for you it’s leg strength (shin splits are from calf weakness, from what I understand). For me it’s my Achilles’ tendons - I can only add running at the speed of those tendons stretching and getting more flexible. Go at that speed of adding running. [/quote]
