538 Brooklyn, New York | Subject: RE: Shin splint When I began to run with frequency I had bad shin splints. I don't know how long you've been running, but you do build up to volume and it can go away; HOWEVER: 1) Form and technique have A LOT to do with it. Length of stride (an overstride will cause the foot to heel strike way forward past center of gravity, thus creating breaking forces that have severe consequences.) 2) In addition to #1, not landing under center of gravity with proper shin angles will cause excessive stress to the tibia(and tibialis) 3) Excessive heel-striking, vs. more midfoot striking will also cause severe shin stress. 4) Have your gait analyzed by a qualified orthopedist, sometimes people can benefit from the use of custom orthotics; especially if there is a structural issue. 5) Discuss type of running shoe with ortho. There are motion control shoes, neutral, performance flats etc. Can't just grab any old shoe on sale. While working on #1-5, ice ice ice, and rest rest rest. Natural anti-inflammatories can help, but those points cover a lot. |

114 Minneapolis, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Shin splint My intensity has increased from basically 1 mile to 4 over the corse of 2 weeks. I'll get my form analyzed and go from then, cheaper then seeing the foot doctor, thanks |

27 | Subject: RE: Shin splint In my experience, it takes about 2 weeks of no running for it to go away. Which sucks, cause it really doesn't seem like a serious injury, but it can turn into one. The points on form are all very good. If I start feeling a bit of shin pain I'll either slow down and/or focus or shortening my stride. Both of which usually work. I feel like too much intensity too soon is the usual cause though. |

Master 1718 Loughborough, England | Subject: RE: Shin splint Originally posted by aalbury compression sleeves helped me a lot when I first started running and getting constant shin splints. I'm sure I was doing to much too soon. Since I have dialed in my run training a little better, I no longer wear the compression sleeves. x2 on the compression socks. I have suffered with bad shin splints on and off for years but wearing compression socks and stretching my calves before a run pretty much stops them. |

New user 45 Surrey, British Columbia | Subject: RE: Shin splint I've been dealing with shin splints this year, which was never a problem in all the years I've been active. I tried switching to lower drop running shoes and noticed the shin pain...likely from tight calves. We recently moved to an area where there are a lot of hills! I experienced a few days of bad shin splints following a short run. I a contributing factor was changing from running on mostly flat ground to suddenly a lot of hills. CEP socks/sleeves work great for me. I've also been attending Deep Tissue Massage which has been helping tremendously. Shin Splints are frustrating, and not to be messed with. My friend ended up in a walking boot because she ignored hers and kept training through the pain. Take it easy out there! And good luck at your next race Edited by RunnyBunny 2015-03-12 1:44 PM |

Member 285 Cypress, Texas | Subject: RE: Shin splint Best way to get rid of shin splints is get rid of the imbalance in the muscles by doing toe raises. (There's plenty of articles and Youtube videos on that topic out there, just google "shin splints toe raises") While you are still healing roll the front of your leg with either "The Stick" or a foam roller. |
