Why do my shins hurt while running?

First time doing this and my shins started hurting, what can cause this

Sounds like shin splints .

Search on this site for shin splints , I think there are several posts .

Good luck 👍

Shin splints, never heard of them before. Thank you

Very common in new runners (apparently)

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

I actually get this pain all the time, well now and then without running. So definitely shall look into it. Thank you so much

Welcome to the forum.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

It is primarily the impact that causes the problem in new runners.

Enjoy your journey.
