Workout 9 - Back To It
I did my second week of “Workout 5“. I increased the weight on the first set of Decline Situps and on all sets of EZ Bar Curl. Biceps were really puffy after completing all of the workouts. Good feeling 
Was fairly tough getting back into doing HIIT running after a few days off. I tried to ramp up the incline on the tread mill again but it makes my shin muscles sore so I think I will leave it where it is for a while. Shin splints is something I DO NOT want to develop. I stretch them before and after a run but they still get a little sore. I prefer not to risk injury.
- Workout Duration: 1hour 23 minutes
- Calories Burnt: 630
- Heart Rate Max: 197
- Heart Rate Average: 138
I’m not sure if the max heart rate is accurate. I did feel the burn when doing HIIT but I didn’t feel at any stage that my heart was going to beat out of my chest at 197!

My monitor used to do the same. I got 210bpm a few times… Don’t think so 
The sore shins are quite possibly the muscle expanding and pressing against the casing that separates the bone and muscle. I had the same thing when I first started running, and again when I started sprinting.
Of course, it could be shin splints 
I get that issue with my HR monitor sometimes as well, i think last week it told me 224….think i didn’t wet it down enough before hand or that it’d come loose doing chins or something. Pretty sure i should be dead if it was accurate!
How are you stretching your shins mate? You don’t want to do any static stretching beforehand.
