I am not a strong runner and I am worried about taking running completely out of the schedule. I am still working on conditioning the small muscles of the lower leg. The vertical muscle that runs just outside of the shin bone is still tightening up when I get fatigued.
Anyone have ideas while Blitzz is out this month? I want to smoke the running section at the end of April.

The Muscles you speak of are used to lift your foot from the floor, so when running they act to "soften the impact of each stride and not run flat footed. They're antagonist to your calves and get worked on your forward roll and then push off of your foot.
You can blitz those buy using your toes to pull a resistance up or toward your head. That exercise should have a starting position with the leg extended and the toes pointed away.
also as your legs strengthen during running the tendon and facia of that muscle get inflamed and cause schin splints. To prevent schin splints you should do prerunburns of those muscles by doing isometric upward pulls with easc foot against the heel of the other foot. Dave
