I was planning on doing a 6 mile race tomorrow night, which would be at my upper limit. I presume I shouldnt be doing this?
Or am I being a wuss and should accept Im sore coz Im running a fair bit.
Bit worried about shin splint horror stories..

Do NOT ignore. I did that and was out for 10 months. There's plenty of exercises available but in my case it was extremely tight calves, so try massaging them as well as doing the strengthening exercises
