I've had shin problems ever since I started running years ago, but now I think it might be compartment syndrome??? it stayed healed for awhile though once I took a year off running but now Any run at any pace or form style is cut short of a mile due to my lower leg muscles giving out. it's always some form of my shins,calf's, feet/ankles giving out and making me legs feel like dead weights *no spring* . My upper legs never get sore, and I can run the 400 meter in 55secs and back off and float another lap. I've ran the mile in 4:00 flat once and want to break it one last time

Btw I ran 1 matharon and 1 ultra before my cardio currently on other forms like bicycle, swimming, elepticals are also elite levels so it's not a cardio issue

Could definitely be compartment syndrome. My brother had it when we ran in college, and there really isn't much you can do for it. The surgery for it is pretty gnarly, so is the testing for it, and rarely is it successful.

Docs told my brother that if it flared up really severely amputation could be the only route. Scary stuff. Hope you find some answers

I know someone who had the surgery and it was successful. I can't really remember but think they just made a slit in the fascia or something.

Karen Groucher had it or whatever.

4:00 flat mile, then marathon and an ultra marathon? And a year off? And you are looking for help on lrc? David?
