Shin splints are NOT usually caused by stress fracture in the shin like i used to think. Some how it got the name i guess from the area of the pain.A lot of good stretching in that area and not over excercising will do wonders. A lot of stretching of the whole leg is really important in preventing and treating shin splints.Michael Ray said:I hate to run. I suck at it. I'd rather ruck all week than run down the block and back. I'm a heel striker and had shin splints the whole time I was in the Army. It's like studying and taking tests in school: No one teaches you HOW to do those things, they just expect that you DO them. Same with the military (the Army, at least), and running. I was never taught HOW to run properly but you bet your ass I better not go on sick call to get those looked at. If I did, I better not come back on a running profile. Nowadays I don't have to put up with that crap. I can take time to recover properly and try new things to unf@#k myself. I still hate to run but I am trying to get better at it. This video is a great explanation and I'll be trying this technique to help myself along. Thanks for sharing it!
Yes, this is scored individually... but if shooters want to run in small groups, we can accommodate that. We have had husbands run with wives, dads with kids, etc... at the Thunderbird Run 'n Gun last July, we even had 4 tac medics who ran the course with a "casualty" and simulated treating different injuries along the way. The way it works is that when the group gets to a station, the competitors shoot one at a time, and everyone who isn't shooting is running wait time. If you want to do this, you will need to tell us before we announce the run order in the morning.CoolBreeze said:This is an individual event, right?
I know that Texas A&M has a shooting team linked with their corps of cadets, and they do a collegiate match every year with the same premises, although it is a team event with 4 man squads, I believe.
Your overall score is your percentile shooting time plus your percentile running time.UCO Shooter said:how is this scored?
I know I won't be breaking any land speed records.Corey said:I actually ran 2 miles on the tread mill this morning @ 6 mph. I tried Sunday but only got 1.3 miles. I sure am hoping for good weather.
Yep, I bought that very thing today... a small pack that will hold just my hydration pouch, my rain suit, layers of clothing, and minimal tools like a multitool, cleaning rod and extra lube. I figured I needed something that covers the gap between full LBE pack and just a war belt anyway.SMS said:Weather is forcast for what, the 40's right now? I might actually bring a small pack in case I need to strip layers off.
The real show is going to be watching EK run his SBR AK at 500 yards. They should sell tickets to that portion...
