Since I've a shin splint problem at the moment I thought I'd bring this thread back to life!

Yes I do (hate shin splints) I went out for a short recovery run this evening (only 2 miles) - not enough time for shins to settle down so they made their presence felt during most of the run. Wished I'd wore my shin supports but I got away without these on Sunday.

Shin problems are usually related to overpronation or insufficient shock absorption. Careful Steve don't pay attention to it and can lead to stress fractures I've been rubbing in some gel into mine. I try to avoid running consecutive days as well.

Well I did 7.75m last night and didn't suffer at all so I'm wondering now if the problem wasn't shin splints ( touching lots of wood!) but simply some kind of strain cause by running slowly.

Planning a treadmill run tonight so will see what happens and report back!
