actionman Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 i was running the other day and i felt a pain i've felt before. It was on the bottom part of my legs towards the shins. When i walk it hurts slightly and i feel it when i sit down after i've been on my feet. Have i got shin splints? And how long on average to resume running again? Appreciate any advice thanks.

JtotheC Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I had splints from football, I took 6 weeks off and the pain went but came back after 20 minutes of playing again. I then had to take another 3 months off and they got better 80%. It has been a year or so now and they still ache after a game, but the pain is bearable.

runningowl Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Rest ice and stretch them. give it till they don't hurt anymore and start again slowly. if they start to hurt again, stop and rest some more. it differs on severity but push thru and your asking for months off. how old are your shoes because that can cause them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionman Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 its not severe pain but i don't want em to get worse so i've decided to go back in the gym on the bike and rower and take rest of the year off from running. i hope this works.

barracks4250 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 shin splints are problems caused by how you run, the types of shoes worn and weak muscle at front of shin (wont bore you with terminology) easiest way to sort is buy resistance bands, sit on floor legs to front, feet together and slight bend in knee,then if got training partner get them to sit opposite you and place band over your toes and training partner hold other part of band and when tension in band is enough that a slight stretch in band achieved, then keep all of leg still and curl toes towards shin pulling at band, hold for 5 seconds and relax, repeat 6 to 8 times then rest 2 mins and repeat, do this 3 to 5 times a week, this will strengthen the muscle and make life easier when running. over all 2 months max for strengthening and not suffering as much, also run on grass for a while as softer running ground eases pain too. any questions please ask or pm me, (im a personal trainer so advice free) but workout routines i charge for lol.
