Is that even possible? I mean, ouch! I guess my workouts are working! Oh, and my shins…is there a way to run without getting shin splints? What am I doing wrong? Anytime I spend a decent amount of time on the treadmill my shins kill for like days!
Well hopefullly this will all begin to pay off because so far I have seen nothing…nada. But still I move forward!

Yes! Let’s keep each other accountable! We can do this. Definitely. Although, the whole shin thing doesn’t sound good.
When I started doing my workouts 10 days ago, on the second and third day I could barley move. No exaggeration. But I loved every minute of because it meant my body was being pushed hard!
Keep going. Its worth it.
Hey! I just found your thingy! Well… My armpits hurt too!
AND! I was an XC runner in high school, and i am currently in between marathons!
For shin splints, you should definitely check out runnersworld.com!
BUT! This is great advice from the experts!
“Gently stretch your Achilles if you have medial shin splints, and your calves if you have anterior shin splints. Also, try this stretch for your shins: Kneel on a carpeted floor, legs and feet together and toes pointed directly back. Then slowly sit back onto your calves and heels, pushing your ankles into the floor until you feel tension in the muscles of your shin. Hold for 10 to 12 seconds, relax and repeat.
In a sitting position, trace the alphabet on the floor with your toes. Do this with each leg. Or alternate walking on your heels for 30 seconds with 30 seconds of regular walking. Repeat four times. These exercises are good for both recovery and prevention. Try to do them three times a day.
If you continue running, wrap your leg before you go out. Use either tape or an Ace bandage, starting just above the ankle and continuing to just below the knee. Keep wrapping your leg until the pain goes away, which usually takes three to six weeks. “What you’re doing is binding the tendons up against the shaft of the shin to prevent stress,” Laps says.”
You’re also probably doing too much, too soon!
Hope i helped!
