Wow, thank you so much. Just what i needed! I suffer from this all the time. Your advice answered my questions! I'll apply your tips on my next run! Thank youuuu! 😊

This is by far the most informative video I have seen regarding shin splints. Lots of great tips. Thank you very much!

"Mid foot strike is better than fore foot strike for shin splints. makes tremendous sense since calf is already overuse.

I’ve struggled with shin splints for years. I get shin splints about 6 minutes after I start running and I can’t seem to fix my form at all but I’ll give this a shot and see what happens!

Me, I gained 10-15 lbs and started running again like it was nothing but, I could feel that on my lower legs immediately. After a few runs the pain started. I knew it was because I'm fat

Excellent video, best I have seen so far.

[CityBlueVespa]

Great advice, thank you. Can I ask if, in your experience, shin splints lessen in frequency over time? I have built up to 5K slowly & end up with terrible shin splints any time I’m running, even slowly, for over 30 mins. I already make sure I take short strides (but do definitely land on the balls of my foot, so will work on that!) and get so disappointed to have to start from scratch as the splints can be so painful that I wince walking down steps! I don’t want to be able to run marathons or anything, I’m happy with a 5K but just feel so disappointed each time 😔

[heeebeeegeeebeee]

Good suggestions, I’ll try some of those

[samueld]

Great advice, I look forward to implementing it

I have chronic shin splints and it’s lasted over 4 years now. Every time I start running I start feeing phantom pain, and I’m not very sure what’s the right pace that will help me recover properly. I used to be an avid runner in college, now I can’t even last a month. Help!

[leetp]

[kenneththomas]

My legs rub against each other when I run. Gonna try widening my gait. Thanks! Also, love the accent. Is it South African?

[nonameno]

What if you get that pain from just walking?

[educationalfriendscircle]
