Hello I noticed I get pain in my shins when jogging. I looked it up it was shin Splints. I was wondering have you guys come up with this before and how did you fix it
well first off your going to need to rest them for a few weeks until the pain goes away . Then you have to look at your footwear, id suggest a shoe with a lot of cushioning ,asics are my preference. You also have to look at what surface your running on and distances, if your doing long distances pavements and threadmills will eventually cause you stress injuries , this is almost a certainty. Look to run on grass shin splints are usually caused by too much force being put through the medial(inside of your foot) so if I was you the first thing I would do is go and get your feet checked at a physio to see if you need to get orthopaedic insole to align your feet correctly. This is more than likely what is causing your issue. If all else fails over pronation of the feet while running is another cause of shin splints. Insoles will help this but you might even need to go to a sports movement physio in order for him to advise you on how to change your running technique
I've had it before was agony trying to run with it. Just rest and for a while unfortunately, get a cushioned running shoe rather then lighter ones (I had lightweight ones and it definitely contributed). Also make sure you are stretching or warming up before you head off for the run, don't run too far when you start again and build into it slowly again. Simple advice really but you can't really rush it with shin splints.

1. strengthen the muscle in the front of your shin by laying a towel on the floor in front of you and curling your toes to pull the towel towards you. 2. video tape the way you're running (from the side, so you see yourself running across the screen and not at you or away from you). shin splints can also come from heel striking when you jog (which flexes that front shin muscle, and then IMPACT). try striking your foot mid to front (in line with your center of gravity) by running with your chest forward, and extending your leg back behind you. too much toe striking (like sprinting) for long distance can give discomfort in the Achilles.
Rest is a must, if you don't, they could last a lot longer. That's what happened to me, the ****ers just wouldn't go away. For months upon months.
I've suffered for many years with them. The Smoking Man offers good advice. Find some stretches specifically for that area on the internet. Firstly while you have a problem make sure you rest them properly. 6 weeks. Then when you return: - Make sure you warm up before your run. If you can do ten mins on an exercise bike beforehand that will help your run no end. - Go to an asics shop and they will stick you on a treadmill and ****yse your running style and tell you which of their footwear you should be wearing. The right shoes are so important. - Try running on grass or alternating between concrete and grass. - Don't up your progress too much too soon. A sudden increae in pace or distance can cause your splints to flare up.
it depends sometimes its more on the right and sometimes left. I jog 3 miles 2 days a week I think it might be my form I think I put to much pressure on my toes and need to take longer strides and land with my heels
He just told you he basically does pose running (short strides on his toes). Pose running is stupid, reduces running economy and greatly increases the chance of Achilles pain/injury. At least you almost gave some practical advice there, well done.
Land with your heels? God no that will make your problems ten times worse, try to get good roll of the foot when striding land on your mid foot and then push off with your forefoot and toes
If He googles it, He will have a idea of what POSE is and its technique, of falling and knee lift, does He see any similarity in how He runs. Im not a fan of the technique, but I know people who are, mainly barefoot runners. Main thing to stop this is Stretching, but you are not a fan of that I believe.
