[@meensbeans_]

Hey guys. So I completely forgot about this video. But I noticed shin splints haven’t been affecting me as much. I reduced my runs to 3x a week so I have sufficient rest between runs. And they key is not to start too fast. So even if the first km is slower than your normal pace, think of it as a warm up for your shins. In that time I focus on my breathing and I take in my surroundings and before I know it, I’ve run a 5K without any pain

I use to get them really bad when I started running and it was worse in my left leg. I thought it was my shoes so I changed them and it didn't work. What did work was: -rolling out my calves. -walking on my heels and then my tippy toes. -calf raises in the gym. In my own non-medical opinion, I think my calves were tight and weak and they needed stretching and strengthening. I was brand new to running and about 240lbs and this worked for me within in two weeks. My shin splints were gone and I haven't had any for at least 2 years.

Great tips. From personal experience, my shin splints are now mostly gone by changing running gait. Before I didn't lift my knees high enough with each step when I run which placed great stress on my lower legs, but now that I lift them higher, probably resulting in use of different muscle group for better support, the shin splints have gone away. Besides the usual outdoor jogging, I also use a treadmill daily, set it to 12 degree inclination and do about 1-2 km walk or jog or even sprint (lift knees when jog/sprint!). The inclination walk/jog/sprint has been a fantastic workout for both the Tibialis anterior and Glute Medius, and I notice an improvement to my anterior pelvic tilt too. It's of utmost importance that everything needs to be done with the correct form! In relation to relaxation, I do stretches and one of those vibrational massage guns.

Wanted to come back to this to tell everyone to take it slow and keep going! I used the C25K app, which uses a walking and running method.

My 5K is being run at an 8:30 min pace per mile. All to this to say, consistency is key! I’m floored because I was literally limping at one point and I couldn’t consistently run. Just take it slow and build on baby steps day by day.

I'm a person with a good cardo system. Been running and playing soccer for over 10 years. I never had shin splints and heard of close friends complaining about it periodically and being out for like 1-2 weeks. I wondered many times how that felt like. And then it happened to me. I went out for a run and tried shaving off a lot of time/mile to increase my speed. After about 5 days of pushing, I felt THAT pain. I tried walking instead of running on some days but even long walks made them flare back up. I tried to push myself through it but in hindsight, I definitely delayed my recovery. Its been about a week and a half since I've run and I"M SO ANTSY TO GET BACK OUT. I've rested my legs and just recently tried a few light exercises. Praise the Lord, there is no pain but I'm still gonna wait a few more days until I actually go for a run. Your video has equipped me to recover better and slowly ease myself to run again. It's been super helpful! Can't wait to have the feeling of the ocean-wind blowing against me as I run. Thanks!

[@GyariSan1]

Great tips. From personal experience, to be shin splint free you must improve running/walking gait and find suitable pair of shoes as well. In the past I never had shin splints, but it all started after I made the mistake of purchasing a pair of ASICS GEL NIMBUS. At first I didn't know what the problem was, but turns out it was because the nimbus had too much cushion, which placed extra stress on my lower legs with every step I push off the ground. The shoes also dramatically changed my original running gait for the worse, resulting in me not having to lift my knees high enough which further increased the lower leg load. So to correct the issue to make my shin splint go away, I bought a better pair of less cushion-y runners with better shape and arc support (these days I run with Adidas Ultra Boost or Nike Zooms), and lifted my knees higher again so to use of proper muscle groups for better support. Besides the usual outdoor jogging, I also use a treadmill daily these days, set it to 12 degree inclination and do about 1-2 km walk or jog or even sprint (lift knees when jog/sprint!). The inclination walk/jog/sprint has been a fantastic workout for both the Tibialis anterior and Glute Medius, and I notice an improvement to my anterior pelvic tilt too. It was quite the long journey since it took me a while to figure out what the problem was, but in the end these corrections led me to being shin splint free. It's of utmost importance that everything needs to be done with the correct form! For relaxation, I do stretches and make use of one of those vibrational massage guns.

Finally found it.lol I thought I was suffering alone. I used to play a lot of sports especially football(Soccer) when I was younger but stopped playing as I grew older and barely been having any exercises either, although I do walk quite often. Couple of weeks back I tried running and my shin immediately started hurting after running for like 500 metres. Prolly thought it was because of my lack of exercise and because I was new to running. And now I've started playing football again after many years (I'm 26 now) and on days I can play a full 30 40 minutes without much pain but sometimes I can't play more than 15 20 minutes cause the pain is just excruciating! And the day after is the worse, can't even walk properly or climb up and down the stairs. So I used to numb the pain with ice which I thought worked because it did numb the pain for the moment. And after a day or two rest would play football again and the same would happen. Didn't know this was actually a common injury and could lead to more problem if left unattended. I'm def gonna give a try to this exercises and hopefully it starts getting better!

@Charles Heath '20 hello , i suffered for over a year from the shin pain. I tried to stretch my muscles with a foam roller and i can say that helped me a lot. After watching this video i will try this methods too and to see how much will work. But i think every person needs his/her time to fix this shin problem. The most important is to not push our muscles to the limit. If we feel pain we need to relax .For the moment i'm ok but sometimes i feel pain. i just rest and stretch my muscles at least 3-4 times / week ( 15-20 minutes)

I just started having issues with shin splints the last two weeks. I've been doing as much research as I can. It's like you guys knew I needed this. I have my first 10K in 3 and a half weeks and I'm worried this will still be messing with me : |

[@bluectessa3578]

So what happened? Did they heal?

[@bifflowman2000]

Yeah, what happened?

[@erikmain4957]

Aw I never get notifications on here. So as far as I can remember the shin splints went away. I did a lot of rolling of the front muscle of my shin and calf/Achilles. I think jump roping as well. The race went amazing. The first mile I was tight in that front lower leg muscle. But after I got warmed up I was just cruising. I crushed my goal of 55:00 and ended up getting just over 48 minutes. I've since finished a half and am currently training for another.

My shin splints are going crazy, I can’t skip trainings but yeah... my legs aren’t literally moving. Football fields are really tough and in competitive matches I am literally dead trying to keep up with the pace of the game. Hope this stuff helps me.

Having low vitamin D deficiency caused mine! As soon as i took a prescription of high dosage vitamin D, the shin splints went away!

[@BeefPapa]

Hey do you mind providing an update on this? I've had trouble with my shins (particularly the left one for some reason) for about 5 years. I had to cut back on running from 5-6 days a week to running every other day to allow enough rest for the shins to heal. But now I'm stuck on this exercise, pain, and heal cycle that never ends. I found out a couple of weeks ago that I had vitamin D deficiency. Started taking 4k daily units immediately, but so far shins feel about the same during and after workouts. How long till you started noticing results?

[@danieldesantiago6472]

@@BeefPapa i took vitamin D for about 3 months, i felt better after 2 weeks- 1 month it really just depends on your body. I stopped taking it for no reason in particular. Need to start taking it again. It really helped though.

I started jump rope about 2weeks ago and my shin started hurting after one week. I thought it would just heal on it own but it still hurts. I’m glad I stumbled upon this video.

[@rose-cq5xp]

In extreme pain right now. I am beginner runner and I kept ignoring my shin splint pain. Today I just ran through the pain. Now I am really suffering. Had no idea how much they hurt, I can barley walk

[@impIicit]

I’ve never had shin splints before this whole COVID 19 crap but that was because I had the gym to workout in. Now that i’m running every day my legs are dying from this crap. Thank you for this video, so glad it came up on my recommended viewing because it did not come up when I searched videos on shin splints the other day. So much more informative than the other videos. Definitely going to put this into practice because I’ve never experienced “pain” like this (I say “pain” because it’s more of a discomfort than it is a pain but I’m afraid of it advancing to something worse). Thank you!!

[@impIicit]

Also never knew how much self-care was necessary when working out. 😭

[@MG21778]

I started running to keep myself active during quarantine (since I can’t weight lift) and prepare for Air Force basic training and this pain really pissed me off. It’s probably due to me training all my other muscle groups in the gym except my calves. I’ll try this. Thank you

[@bifflowman2000]

Hi, Same with me: I was getting in shape for BMT, got shin splints and now haven’t run for 2 months. Did a mini-mini-mini test jog the other day: they’re still there. My ship date has been postponed. What ended up happening with you?

[@bifflowman2000]

What ended up happening?

[@alexisorozco9101]

Actually, when I first got the Splints, I rested for 2 weeks and they went away for a little. A week after I went back to football ⚽️ and lifting and they came back. I think it's just for overworking the legs which the calves take most of the weigh

[@EPHONIC]

This is an amazingly informative video. Thank you! You do a great job of explaining the problem, the procedures, and why all of it matters.

[@TheRunExperience]

Glad it was helpful! 🙌🏼

[@hennatamminen852]

I got that sweet shin pain after changing two out of three of my runs to asphalt course. I usually only run on dirt road, so the hard surface was too much for me. So my tip would be to make sure you are running on something consistently varying. The pain went away after I only ran on asphalt once a week.

[@AnalyRamirez-rj5yw]

Loved this video. I been searching a while now. I'm very picky. I love this

[@mehrdadati]

I'm a physician and a runner and a wrestler!! what i can tell you about this specific issue, which i experienced myself while i was running my 1st 10k is the issue is very simple! your bones and muscles are not that strong yet and you can either chose the easy way and increase pressure gradually and avoid it at once or you can do what i did and feel the pain. but never forget that you definitely need some recovery time depending on your workout intensity.

[@Serpent1776]

Is it weird im watching this without having an injury ever? I started getting into running a few weeks ago again and im doing 5k a day at the moment to get my body used to this workout. I havent got any injury yet during my years of sport and im watching all these before i get them, rather then watching them when im already suffering from it.. i feel im being a bit too obsessed about running atm, but im getting so hyped about it and start loving running more everyday i run! ❤ thnx for all the information, like and sub for you!

I’ve enlisted a few days ago with the Marines but almost immediately after singing my 4 years I started to experience these horrible shin splints. It has actually been worrying me a lot recently and I need to fix this before I leave for boot camp. I wanted to say that this video is extremely helpful and hope that this small recovery is swift because I’m on a little bit of a timer. Any tips to slightly speed up the healing process? Will update in a month, before I leave.
