My shins are bothering me more today than over the past few weeks. It is a general soreness along the front, no really sharp pains. I have been consistently icing after each run. It is annoying more than anything else. I debated resting today, but since I was only going 3 miles I decided to suck it up and get out there.

ReplyDeleteThis guy shows some of the stretches that they taught us during track to keep from shin splints and treat post shin splints. Keep going rock star!

i have you consulted a physician? i specifically chose my pcp because he's a sports medicine doc - he treats the duquesne basketball team here in pittsburgh. i'm always amazed at how he diagnoses and treats my minor aches. the best thing is that i almost always appear textbook!
ReplyDeletei'm sure you're getting lots of advice, but i'm throwing in my 2c: i've been trying to sit japanese style, seiza, because it stretches the tibialis, both anterior and posterior. i don't know if it is directly responsible, but recently running has become a lot less painful.
feel better!
