Just started tonight...

I have just finished the first run tonight... it’s been a long time since I ran and gave myself shin splints.

Anyone got any suggestions for exercises to minimise problems whilst running?

Last time I ran was about 10 years ago.... finngers crossed I can make it back to fitness this time.

Active10,walking app, base load,

Gym,all body workouts, recommended, NHS 2-3 hours per week.Cardio, Loads on non impact repair days.🌟👏👏🤔

Sorry I did not read your question properly,

follow the slow and steady advice , and keep your footfall under your hips and maximise the area of your foot that kisses the ground. Try and stay off concrete and tarmac until you strengthen up a bit.

You have been here before so should have GA and the correct shoes.

Stay clear of hills up or down initially. Just think load distribution which minimises impact. No standing on one leg if you can avoid it in your daily routine until you strengthen up.Use two feet and two legs.

All the very best for no injuries🌟👏👏
