Shin splints have become an umbrella term for any pain in the lower part of your leg or “shin pain”. This is a common running injury, and more likely if have just started running long distances, but your body isn’t conditioned to the high impact forces of running. Here, I explain some common causes of running shin splints, how to decide if you have anterior shin splints or posterior shin splints, and how to manage shin splints from running by yourself at home. I will cover necessary changes to running technique and how to get back to running in another video.
