March roars in like a lion

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

There are few things in the world of running that I hate more than shin splints. Persistent, nasty buggers they are. I can only say "toe raises - thousands of them" as being the best exercise you can do to assist the demise of the injury. If that doesn't work, you're in the hands of the medicos.

Sometimes you can run through the bastards, sometimes you have to rest them. You'll have to work that out for yourself. But if you keep running and they don't get better, then they won't get better without lots of rest.

Good luck. I hope it doesn't take you as long to be rid of them as it did me... quite a few chapters of my book seems to be devoted to them. Hateful things. Hate hate hate.
