Go to a medical supply place and get ted hose, they're half the price as the ones you get at tri shops and do the same job.

Awsome! Thank you so much! I love to save money.

mbasta - 2010-10-23 4:48 PM Is it normal for someone to get these issues when doing such small distances? (9-10km)

What is going to happen when I need to increase my LSD to 12km in 2 weeks??

The last two weeks of November are scheduled to be 16km...

Are you following a specific plan?  Or one of your own devising?

A very brief glance at your logs for october and it looks like you're running three times a week with a long run that is at or over 50% of your total milage for the week.  This can sometimes lead to problems, sometimes not.  If you're doing all your runs at a low intensity then it may not be a problem for you.

If you're not training for a specific race date you might consider the following - increase your run frequency to 4x/wk starting with 4 short runs.  So if you're running 20K a week right now, you could break that down into 4 x 5k all at an easy pace.  If you can handle that frequency, you can start adding distance to a couple of the runs so, for example, you'd be running 2 short, 1 med, and 1 long run each week.  More frequent running will help keep your long run from being such a high precentage of your weekly milage (kilometer-age? ).

Edited to add: I'm not a coach, I've just read a gajillion or so threads on BT that deal with run injury.  This is something that I gleaned from those much wiser than myself.  It's also something that worked for me when I was trying to build volume.
