I find it interesting that body parts / muscles that have been ommitted from stretching routine (out of ignorance) end up complaining / fatiguing first. This week for the 1st time my shins were a bit tight/tender/sore. Not full on shin splints thankfully. I have had that out of playing too much squash and that's nasty.

Shins, have now been now added to my stretching/pastis bottle/cricket ball pressure point routine. I am wondering how many more muscle groups I will have to include into the routine by the end of the racing season.
