Shin splints
I've been running quite a bit lately to cut down on some fat. The problem is after I run 2 - 3 miles i start to get shin splints so I stop. On the way home they just get worse and worse I'm in absolute agony atm.
Question is how the fuck so i stop them? Buy some proper running trainers?

I assume you are road running, best to run on grass if you can help it as i'm sure the shin splints come from the lack of give in the tamac.

When I was younger I got shin splints from a treadmill! (Barefoot running FTL.)
I just stopped running altogether for a few months when I had them (still could play footy ok though!?)
Proper running shoes would probably be a good idea though?

Oh OK in that case then I would have said ill fitting trainers or the trainers you are using aren't suitable seeing as the treadmill has a bit of bounce in it.

Mate, put the treadmill on a slight incline it takes the pressure off your shins a bit, you might not be able to run as far but you'll burn more.
Also you might not have a very good running style, I had a real bad style and had to change it. A running coach showed me how bad I was. You can see some videos in you tube it way help.
If you want trainers go to start fitness on Pilgrim Street in the town, they'll measure your feet and find ones that will be good for you. A half decent pair of Asics can be had for £30

Yeah mate that's the one, they'll get the right trainers for you. It all goes on how wide and how your arch is.
Out of interest what you running in at the minute?

Start fitness are amazing, just got some Nike free runs from there. The guy spent ages with me going over what i needed and watching how i jogged/walked/stood, they have guys free runs in amazing colours too
I had two gait analysis done last week and although the results were pretty much the same, the type of shoe recommended was a lot different.
I run through my shin pain and it goes away, I never run more than three days in a row and always make sure I have a good three/four days off every so often and do something else in the meantime. Seems to keep the pain to a complete minimum for me, more always a dull ache when I drive or something.

There's your shin splint problem right there, there's no shock absobtion and all that good stuff. Puts all the stress up your shin and into your knees.
Just a pair of cheap Asics will make a massive difference. Treat yourself, remember the weight you loose running will give your bike a better power to weight :-)

Ok thanks alot people. Looks like I'm going to buy myself some new trainers tomorrow
I do stretch before I run but I'm going to try and do it abit more. They only ever hurt during running and about 2 hours after. I ran today and they feel fine now lol.
I'm not tryin to loose much weight just a bit body fat to tone up abit . Power to weight ratio is fine... I just want a faster bike haha

I used to suffer with shin splints, so went to a local running store and the do something called GAIT analysis, determines if you overpronate etc. I got some proper running trainers and I haven't had any issues since. A decent pair of running trainers will probably sort it out mate.

When I was in basic I had bad shin splints, PTI told me to run through it and they will get used to it.. It actually worked! I had no more shin pain after running everyday for 4/6 weeks..
But then....
I got compartment syndrome in my calves

I know a lad who got a MD for that, can be bad and you have to get surgery to sort it out.
