Shin splints, never heard of them before. Thank you
Very common in new runners (apparently)

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.
