Yeah I started to fast after a break, I was doing good with no shin splints, then took a week off and started with hill sprints and got them. I just need to be careful

Yeah I don’t know your athletic level but running slower is going to dramatically help your cardio. I can help out if you give me an idea of your cardio level.
3 miles a day, 20-30 min HIIT sessions at a time.
What is a specific HIIT session you do? I’ve kinda just made my own ngl 😂
I’m also dealing with tendinitis in my knee right now, it’s hard to give it a week to heal cause I’m trying to keep up my training. Not sure how to get passed it, trying to RICE it and do some strength work but not sure if it will improve it.
I try to do a basic bodyweight circuit but incorporate dumbbells to make the bodyweight easier, also try to do more stability work, like plank pull thrus and lumberjacks. Help build that core stability, and make holding push up positions and planks effortless.
I used to have that when I ran cross country, I had to take time off and just stay away from incline/decline running for a bit, that’s what helped me
I may end up doing that but I enjoy running too much lol

Run with a higher cadence and those shin splints will disappear within a few days, given you’re wearing good shoes that support your form/foot strike. Higher cadence (165-180 steps per minute) with a short stride helps tremendously, it’ll naturally try to make you faster, but training it is quite easy. Just don’t over stride, big energy waste.
On a side note, I couldn’t be any more excited for these board results, this and SuppO.
Dude got any pointers for my knee tendinitis? It seems to get tight, and I can sometimes feel tightness in my hammies, I stretch well, multiple rounds of 30 secs, RICE and try to keep it compressed for 6-8 hours.

Good ole fashioned patellar tendinitis, such a pain. Had it in my right knee during a heavy lifting cycle in the off season for triathlons. It’s going to sound so weird, but make sure you’re landing your feet directly under you, that’s going to be super important as you’re not landing on your joints/tendons wrong. Treadmill and a phone can show you land. What helped me was reducing weekly volume, and cross training swimming and the elliptical (it sort of mimics how running is, super low impact too.)
I hope it clears up for you though! It’s not even a terrible pain, it’s just an annoying one, like a gnat at a barbecue.
They were filling February the last few boards so I’m assuming February-March
