Shin Splints
 

Just wondering...does anyone have any good ideas on what to do about shin splints?? They only occur when I am running my intervals...I know the obvious solution would be, don't run...but that just ....sucks.... so, anyone got any good ideas. I have good new shoes and I drink a ton of water. Any ideas would be fantastic...thanks!!

Thank You!!!

Definitely stretch stretch stretch, and good shoes have also helped diminish mine. Good luck!

Thank you!! I got new shoes this past month as well...spent an arm and a leg and I think my daughters first born child!! (lol) I know they are well worth it though...I was getting blisters on the balls of my feet...the new shoes eliminated that!!

I actually had a podiatrist check my gait and how my footstep falls on the floor before I got new shoes. I definitely have a supination problem that was showing up as shin splints when I was walking fast. I had to get orthotics and the right shoes, which made all the difference.
