Watching with interest .... just done w2, r1 and have had sore shins during every run so far. Seems to wear off quickly enough afterwards to just a dull ache.

Warm up really well, try to land lightly and stretch well after each and every run :)

Slow down a tad... and although it may not get easier... you, get stronger with every run:)
