pain in the shins when sprinting and running.

[M617]

i do a power walk with a mix of sprints and some jogging for my cardio a few times a week basically whenever i can. half the time though the front of my shins hurt so bad about halfway through i want to stop but dont because im not a bytch and basically struggle through the rest of my cardio

ive tried stretching and and wondering if im missing a stretch or if i just need new sneakers...my running shoes are in decent shape but i could get another pair if need be im stumped on what else is wrong im fit so its not like my muscles are not used to being used

so to all my runners wtf do you do about shins splints and shin pains?

Potassium, get as much as u can without hurting your stomach. Preferably in food not pills (kiwi, bananas etc) thats what helped when I was getting em

Stretching helped me.

May want to try a softer surface as well.

How old and how many miles are on your shoes?

My shins use to hurt when I ran. A combination of doing a complete stretch before I ran, buying new running shoes, and eating a banana before my runs solved that problem.

eat a banana a day or every other day. Same thing happened to me when I didnt eat one for a week.
