Shin splints

[Miss_slinky]

Ok so week 4 was just started today and my shins hurt at the end and are agony now - they feel really inflamed. I had this the first time I did it but it went away in a few weeks.

Does anyone have any tips (bar lose weight!) for stretching or what to do? It’s very sore 😕

Have you read the guide to the plan? healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

It is full of tips and links.

What are your shoes like? is always my first thought.

I’ve got a pair of sauccony trainers like a pair that I did get fitted for previously in a running shop - so shouldn’t be them?! I think it may be my weight and just being unfit again? I just hope next run isn’t as painful afterwards...
