I used to get them really bad when i played rugby, if i got the physio to massage deep heat or a similar product into my shins for 2 mins it never caused me a bit of trouble for the whole match.

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	I used to have to do it regularly when I was studying A level PE. I used to try and take bigger strides than if I was running normally, and run off the ball of your foot and toes, its supposed to be a more natural action for the foot.

and the winning number is... 88! Member 647, 2048 posts SQ 222.5, BP 152.5, DL 242.5 617.5 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq	Buy running shoes, not trainers. You can pick em up cheaply enough from Sports Direct online. I got a pair of Adidas for £30 and my feet ARE GLAD i DID.

Detention officer? In case the little s**ts run off? The runners will test your deadlift grip when you nab them.

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11329 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190 502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	The right trainers for your feet and correct running style should help you a lot. Shinsplints suck balls.

Member 1848, 99 posts SQ 330, BP 205, DL 270 805.0 kgs @ 88kgs Eq	Post Edited: 08.04.2012 @ 21:15 PM by Ader Shin splints are often connected with over pronating- If you get some good running shoes designed for over pronaters they'll probably help. Asics are (or were when I used to run a lot) my shoe of choice and a lot of them have the duomax support in the instep which helps with the pronation - But most makes have an anti pronation shoe so it's a choice thing and looking aroun dif you want to go that route. I ended up getting orthotics which were the biz, but for a one off test they're way too expensive imo. Running on your toes is hard btw - good for sprinting not so good for longer stuff ime unless of course you're a world class distance runner - No idea how those guys do it!

to row or not to row ...that is the question Member 1963, 811 posts SQ 202.5, BP 140, DL 265 607.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	I don't know anything about shin splints so this probably isn't helpful but if you're looking for a new pair of trainers get down to a specialist shop, have them analyse your gait and recommend a couple of shoes. Then go and check online and at places like Sports Direct for the same model or similar (or previous years) and you might save a few quid. Even if you just buy a new pair without getting it checked they might help with the shin splints because you're supposed to replace them every year or two or after a certain number of miles.
