I normally run at the gym but the air con is bust and it's sooooo bloody hot in there it's basement level and no windows etc. so I'm considering going running outside tomorrow. I've found a great route along the seafront and back that is 6 miles which is close to the 10k I'm aiming for.

Questions is what do I wear?? I've only got thin 3/4 length running trousers that are quite thin, do I wear a hoody or will I be warm enough in a long sleeve running top once I get going??

It's very warm Hot Bot. I think you should consider a bikini.

What time were you thinking of starting your run?

I get shin pain when I run outside so I stick to the treadmill and it's good to have medical support nearby

I think most runners wear a waterproof like a kagool over light running gear.

Invest in some baselayers, you may suffer with shin splints but they disappear after a while

Can't beat running along a sea front

Make sure you check the weather forecast before you set off..a long running top with a lightweight waterproof shud be fine....

If the outside temperature is anything like as cold as is up this neck of the woods today, I recommend wearing a onesie,,,,,,(fluffy pink with floppy rabbit ears and a cute lil tail)

3/4 lengths should be fine, once you start running and get your heart rate up you'll soon warm up. I'd suggest a light hoody and t-shirt should be good.

I use them and after the first 5 minutes i tend to be fine though once you stop running you will cool down quickly so make sure you time your run to finish close to home & dont have more than 1 rest stop for longer than 2 minutes else you will feel the cold

Shin splints don't disappear, and they're a symptom of something more serious

Running on pavement IS harder than a treadmill so take it easy.

Make sure your shoes are right for your feet - Try and get a gait analysis done at a good running shop.

Wear layers. A short sleeve and a long sleeve top should suffice as you soon generate your own body heat. Three quarter leggings should be fine too, unless the weather gets really bad.

If it is cold then gloves are essential and maybe a hat.

Lightweight jackets stop the wind but may make you sweat more ....

Aldi have had a really good range of running clothes in and there may be some left at your local store

Do you listen to music ?

Don't wear inner ear phones/ noise cancellation buds .... As you'll need to be aware of what's going on around you.

Try an "old style" set of phones but they may wiggle a bit if they get sweaty

Most of all enjoy yourself

Been out myself this morning. In just shorts and long sleeve top.

The sun is out and it was lovely and fresh

I do listen to music but am not running on any roads etc just the path along the seafront so should be ok. Thanks for the advice x

No they're not. They're mere symptom of a period of inactivity combined with running on a hard surface, stretching and a decent pair of trainers will sort you out

It really depends on the weather you have tomorrow and it depends on your body type to when you run in the past are you the type that gets hot and sweats very quick or does it take u a while to warm up I myself run with two tops on and a wind beaker and running bottoms as I want to get warm and hot quickly to sweat more gets the muscles to the best temp so they warm better so I say see what the weather is doing before run

I ran outside the other week. Wore just my 3 quarter length running trousers and a long sleeve running top from aldi and was warn enough. I would be way too hot in a hoody.

Might go out today as its not too cold but need some food first as not eaten yet.

Couple of things to remember. Running outdoor is harder and you are likely to struggle with pace judgement.

What to wear is trial and error. But as a starting point too much is better than too little. Layers are your friend and a base layer that wicks sweat is tge most important.

I'm a Power Walker not a runner. I have a technical t shirt that wicks sweat away but is it best to wear a light waterproof jacket or a normal light zip up sports top?

Im not sure whether I am misreading this bit how does sweating more warm up muscles?

I'll be honest I have seen countless theories on warming up over the years but lots of clothes and sweating is a new one on me!

Personally I would favour the latter as I sweat to much in a waterproof jacket unless it is a relatively easy pace. But a waterproof is also generally a great windbreak and knowing your part of the world that could be an important factor too.

You're not wrong about the wind factor lol I'm right on the coast but usually walk inland when I'm in serious training mode, which I will be in the New Year!

Correct diagnosis of the cause of pain or discomfort is necessary in order to choose the most appropriate treatment. Compartment syndrome may require immediate medical intervention, depending on the severity of the condition. Stress fractures require rest until the bone has healed. If needed apply ice to the injured area. The inflammation of soft tissue known as shin splints can be initially treated with rest, ice to reduce inflammation, NSAIDS, and physiotherapy. For healing, rest may be required for a couple of weeks or up to three months for severe cases. Crutches may be necessary for temporary non-weight bearing, casting of the limb is only recommended for severe cases. Patients may be advised to decrease the duration or intensity of their exercise and then build it up slowly, as well as to exercise caution on high impact surfaces, until the muscles re-condition. Specially fitted footwear or an orthotic may be used to prevent a reoccurrence of shin splints.[16]

Acute phase of treatment options include resting and applying ice. Therapy option includes physical therapy modalities such as ultrasound, whirlpool baths, phonophoresis, augmented soft tissue mobilization, electrical stimulation, and unweighted ambulation. Subacute phase is modifying the training routine, after the acute phase. The goal of the treatment should focus on modifying training regimens and addressing biomechanical abnormalities. Following the subacute phase is stretching and strengthening exercises. Exercises should focus on strengthening the tibialis anterior and other muscles controlling both inversion and eversion of the foot. Strengthening of the core hip muscles may also be beneficial.

Another way to treat shin splints is to have appropriate footwear. Orthotics can also help with biomechanical problems of the foot. Over-the-counter orthosis help with excessive foot pronation, and mal-alignments may benefit from custom orthotics.

Potential treatments may include extracorporeal shock wave therapy, which is used to treat various tendinopathies of the lower extremity, injection methods, which have been used to treat injuries of the lower extremity, including cortisone. There are also surgical options that are reserved for recalcitrant cases that do not respond with normal treatment. "Posterior fasciotomy" is the procedure performed. This may include cauterization of the posteromedial ridge of the tibia, and results may not cause complete resolution but can improve the pain and function.

My family used to have a caravan to the south of Aberaeron so ive walked many of the cliff paths from there down to Newquay. Beautiful place. Only walked inland once that I can recall, am I right in thinking their is a river path that goes towards a national trust property?

Yes, that's right. A place called Llanerchaeron

The path runs along the river and the old railway track. I'm very lucky that there's plenty of lovely scenery and wildlife to look at when I'm out and about.

when running i favour layers ..run in all conditions as i usually find that there is no inappropriate weather conditions to run in ..just inappropriate cloithing.

i carry a ruck sack incase i need to add layers ..take them off etc ...hope it goes well for you and enjoy !

Don't try again. Listen to your body! And if you want to do something go for a walk or similar.
