2013 Tough Mudder

It’s Tough Mudder Time Again

Team Velocity 2012 Tough Mudder

Last year Team Velocity at the 2012 Tough Mudder had an awesome time. We worked together, stayed together and finished together.

If you missed last year’s opportunity to test your stamina, strength, endurance, perseverance, mental grit, fear and a chance to prove to yourself what you really can do… here is another opportunity. The Tough Mudder will be back at Mount St Louis Moonstone Ski Resort.

Understanding Shin Pain

The majority of people have probably heard of this injury referred to as “shin splints.” However, the term shinsplint is used to describe various overuse injuries affecting both the soft tissue and bone. One specific type of shin splint (MTSS) is limited to the lower third of the inside of the tibia (lower leg). The highest incidence of MTSS occurs in runners. It typically occurs either late in the season after prolonged activity or during the initial rigors of pre-season training.

It typically presents with pain (recurring dull ache) and palpable tenderness along the inside of the lower leg. Early on, you may experience pain at the beginning of a run, which is relieved with continued activity, only to recur at the end of the session. Pain with MTSS is usually relieved with rest. However, as this syndrome progresses pain may be present throughout activity and rest, which makes it very important for this type of injury to be evaluated by a health professional in order to rule out a tibial stress reaction/fracture.
