Shin splints

[Mustbemad1]

Shin splints I keep getting them so stop and rest yet then I have to start all over again, they are so painful and went for a short run today and can feel them hurting already

Are you following the advice in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... about minimising impact and stretching after every run?

When running try to land lightly and not thud thud it just takes some practice. Good luck 😊

I thought I had shin splints, went and saw a sports therapist turns out it is my IT band, he deep massaged my legs and done some stretches with me, feels so much better. Maybe try see someone? I was convinced it was shin splint but he confirmed it wasn’t

Have you got decent running shoes. Can make a big difference

Shoes. I struggled with shin pain in W1. Went for gait analysis (even though I felt like a fraud), new shoes, and I've never had the problem again.
