| walk on your heel 100 yards a day. and walk on your tippy toes 100 yards a day. we do it in football for that reason. and the walking on your heels, actually feels good. |

| Stretch out really well, perhaps ice your shins before and after running.Try shorter distances, walking in between.Your shoes can make a difference, as well as the surface you're running on - concrete is really hard on your legs, best is grass or bare ground or a surface designed for running.Good luck. |

| I use to get shin splints and my aunt told me to do this before I run. If you put your toes on the edge of a stair and drop your heels down slowly you can feel the stretch. It works. |
