Hi there, I started the C25K programme September last year and since then I’ve ran an average of 3x per week, usually a 5k each time. My trainers are asics gel exalt and up until a couple of weeks ago I’ve been running with no problems. Now I’m getting shin splints and sore ankles. Is this my shoes? Do they need replacing already?
I’ve not upped my pace or distance or anything to explain injuries so I’m wondering if it’s time to go shopping? Just looking for some advice, TIA
