Shin Splints

Shin splints are commonly caused by muscle imbalances, pronation, insufficient shock absorption (worn out shoes) and toe running.

shin splints are so annoying. They just dont want to go away...

i used to LOVE running barefoot on the treadmill, but your feet turn black!

@xk3t Can take anything from 3 to 6 to 9 months to heal

the people who get shin splints, in my experience, are almost ALWAYS overstriding, heel landing and foot slapping. Simple tweaks in running form, especially a raised turnover rate and shorter stride, combined with more minimal shoes (or better, no shoes at all), is almost always the only prescription that really puts an end to the problem. It's simple, and cheap :-)

i hate shin splints. im a soccer player and ive had them for about a month straight now and they just get worse after my workouts which i do twice a week. at first i thought maybe i stretched it wrong but after 3 weeks of pain in both my legs i went to my school trainer and found out that i had shin splints and they hurt like hell!

I get it in both my legs and that's after just walking not running,Within 2/3 mins am in server pain not able to walk for 5 mins or so.And that's how i start walking as he says at 02;28 feet slapping,Thats me.

I KNOW!... I've gone to the doctor and he said they take a while but 3 months!?!

That is outrageous.

good info

I trained really hard over the course of 3 months and it gave me shin splints

Its taken me over 1 year to heal my shin splints and I still can't run for extended periods of time. I have to buy new shoes every 3 months, and I can't walk to fast or else my shins flare up
