Shin splints
Anyone know how to get over them?
Been going to the gym again since January, and i still struggle to run past 3-4km, they just cripple me! I do plenty of stretches before running.. A good 20 minutes worth infact, and they still come on so badly! I rest between running, tried running on a slight incline, and I still just get battered by them!
Never used to get them when i was younger, used to run cross country for the country at school level, and played football until i was 18/19, and never had an issue..

I suffer from shin splints on the tread mill , it's usually a combination of the hard surface & non proper running shoes that don't help you . I literally feel your pain

Get measured for decent running trainers and run on a slight incline to take the pressure off.

Wear flip flops, they're much more comfortable when running I find.

I got them bad when I started boxing due to the skipping and running,they just went in time though......I wouldn't wish them on anyone,the pain was quite severe.
They were effecting me at work and I was finding walking a bit of a struggle but funnily enough when I was doing my fitness it wasn't as bad,a bit like when your all stiff and sore from a previous workout but loosen up a bit when you start working out again.

Started with the army beginning of the year, absolutely kill me if my boots are too tight yet in trainers or slacked off boots I can go for miles. Worth having a look at footwear, but if it's still an issue you may have stress fractures from going to hard too soon, lost a few lads off course from them.

I used to get shin splints, i find the best cure is to stop running...
Cardio wise I just do stuff I enjoy now such as swimming, rowing, and 2-3mins of flopping around on top of whatever girl I have lured back to my house.
I used to enjoy running when I was on the other side of 14.5stone, now i'm closer to 17stone I couldn't think of anything worse, don't mind hill sprints but anything for prolonged periods absolute ruins my shins.

Body isn't used to it more than likely. Stop for 2 weeks doing running or any exercise that stresses the shins. Ice packs for a few days will help.
Then start again but do less, gradually building the distance up over 6 weeks, get some proper trainers too, go to a running shop.
Do you smoke btw ?

Don't smoke, and i have proper running trainers.. It just pisses me off that my legs give in before i'm even nearly out of breath from running, or usually even working up a sweat.. Also run on an incline, doesn't do an awful lot

get to a proper running shop and get your 'gait' done, its where they record you on a treadmill and see how your foot rolls, they they can pick the correct trainer for you, means things are more level when your foot lands.
Also put hot water bottle on your shins and stretch them for five minutes, then stick ice on them, do the same, then repeat. What the physio had me doing when I used to get them.
What trainers do you use at the moment? How long have you had them? How much do you wear them?

I used to suffer with shin splints when I started running, had my gaite done which was fine, shop said my trainers had enough cushioning left, but I chose to get a new pair of trainers anyway. The shin splints, went away, and it wasn't until my new trainers were starting to wear out that, I don't think it was shin splints per say, but mild pain in my shins that I got another new pair of trainers (probably 600 odd miles.) My shins have gradually (I assume) built strength and I now get absolutely no shin pain at all, ever.
I'd suggest getting a new pair of trainers, 8 months is a fair time to pounding on them in the gym. If this works, then take it as a future sign you need to change trainers.

but not unachievable.
Just checked my mileage around the time I started running, it was probably more like 400-500. I change my trainer around 350 miles now
