You could also do some cross training on the off days. Just make sure it is something that does not use your shin splints. Hi Jourden,

Great running tips, as always! Due to shin splints I have started running every other day instead of everyday. Although I do notice a difference in the pain level, I am worried about stamina and performance. Will cutting back to every other day affect my ability to run the distance I have always ran? Hi John!

As we get older the body breaks down quicker. There have been a few times a wanted to move on, but I kept pluggin away like you are now. At some point things will click. Keep me posted.

I have been trying to run for the last year. Shin splints keep me from running. I was a good runner 25-30 years ago, but at 45 my body doesn't want to do it. I have tried very hard to be patient doing all the things listed, but to no relief. I'm at the point of giving up, but I can't let it go just yet. I am not overweight. I am 5'8 and weigh 162lbs. It is very disheartening to say the least. I have run 2 5ks, decent time, but not decent enough to list here. You did amazing... keep it up! Much thanks... Michael Hi John,
