I am trying to get into running But every time I start trying

Shin splints brah, get softer shoe soles and dont go ham.

Start walking first. Get used to that. Then very slow pace jogs. Running is for fit people not carrying an extra 300lbs with them.

Shin splints. Go to a running store and get a proper gait assessment - a lot of shin splints can be prevented with proper shoes.

In terms of treatment now - ice your shins for 10 mins 3-4x/day and after every run. Run on softer surfaces and run more slowly. Take ibuprofen for the pain. Stretch thoroughly before and after your run. It will eventually ease off once the muscles and connective tissues adapt to the new load but it is fucking agony at first.

Thanks for the advice all, much appreciated

>>37034366
Not OP, but what stretches would you recommend?
Also, any tips for someone for who shin splints continually come back?

Do a proper warm-up and don't push yourself so hard if you're starting out as a newbie.

Calf stretches and heel drops are probably the most helpful. To do a heel drop stand facing backwards on the edge of a step with only your toes actually on the step. Lower your heels down as much as you can bear (this can be uncomfortable) then bring them back up to parallel. Do sets of 5-10 of these a few times a day and you should see a difference.

Make shorter steps. This pain can sometimes occur if your foot lands in front of your knee, as oppose to roughly below it.

Save your knees and start cycling.

Those shoes are expensive but damn, they're so much better than the Nike runners I had

Others have said it all. Shoes and lose weight. Always had various shin and other problems running. Once I got below a certain weight threshold all pain and problems vanished.

Even if you're not overweight, most people aren''t light enough to run without incurring some sort of leg/knee issues.
