Hi there! On my last 2 30 minute runs at around the 15 minute mark I've gotten a burning pain to the right of my shin down to the right side of my ankle on my right leg. It's gotten so uncomfortable that I've had to stop running at 20 minutes. I'm unable to lift my foot while the pain is there. What is this & how can I stop it?!

What you are describing sounds like "Shin splints" However that can not be diagnosed here on a forum !
There are many things that can bring on shin splints for example , sudden increase in training load , poor footwear, running on hard surfaces , heel striking , weak calf muscles to name but a few .
You may need to rest and ice the affected area following the injury guidance in the programme guide .
Do not run in pain !
If it's a recurring situation then seek the advice of your GP or a sports physio.
This may help explain .
