Subject: RE: beginner off road tris and shin splints I'm doing my first tri, which happens to be an off road, this June. I find with trail running, I tend to go out a bit faster, right off the bat. I'm not sure if I'm just enjoying being on the trail more that I speed up my pace, or what...My suggestion, make a concentrated effort to slow your pace down a bit. Remember that your times may (or may not ) be a bit slower on the trail because of uneven trails, obstacles, etc.
I'm doing my first trail run race (8K ) next weekend and am curious to see what my time will be. I haven't quite measured out my training runs, but have been going basically on time. So, I'm hoping I can go the distance. |
