Great job on the running. Firstly I’d take a couple of extra rest days and then see how that shin is feeling with a really gentle run. If there’s no improvement then a physio or doctor will be the way to go.

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.
This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5... and includes advice on minimising impact and stretching after every run.
Extra rest.
Good shoes, if not yet bought.
Do not overstride.
Slow down.
Enjoy your journey
