I AM FUCKING SICK OF SHIN SPLINTS

Got splints all the time when i first started running and lifting

Stopped squatting, idk if that made em fuck off or if i just strengthened my legs

Squats are gay anyway dont do squats ss is a meme

why is the grinch crying and shooting an RPG?

>Also, shin splints suck because the only real way to get through them is to CONTINUE RUNNNING THROUGH THE PAIN
this is horseshit advice. you could end up getting a hairline fracture that takes months to heal completely.

>running and lifting
running and squatting use the same muscles. if you do both without recovering properly you risk shin splints.

OP do your planks, don't heel strike, and practice ankle dorsiflexion (pic related)

No you dont retard, you can still get shin splints. Ive been running 8 years son, listen to daddy.

Stretch. And calf raises.

>he fell for the shin splints meme

It's 2016 dude

I had the worst shin splints, could only run for two weeks before it hurt just to walk.

Got a foam roller and started rolling my shins over it before a run. I generally did 3-4 sets before each run and it worked beautifully. Very rarely get splints now.

I've been running outside for years with no problems.

In the last year, though, I started running on a treadmill instead (because, weather, darkness, numbers etc.) And a few months ago I started getting pain in front of both of my heels (self-diagnosed that as plantar fascitis) and about amonth ago I started getting pain along shin bone. Shit suc. I don't even run that much, just like 15-20 miles a week.

Could treadmill be fucking up my form? I've always toe-strike'd and I continue to do that on a treadmill, so I don't feel like my form has changed... I also started deadlifting during this time. Anyways it blows, I dont know what to do other than stop for a few weeks, stretch calves and then go back to running outside.

Anyone have similar experiences?

Could it be you are using different shoes when you run on treadmill?

Work on your legs more at the gym, get better running shoes and avoid hard surfaces. For the love of god don't power through it, rest until it's completely gone away.
When I had it, I needed specialist shoes to compensate for my spastic footfalls that were the root cause.

>CONTINUE RUNNNING THROUGH THE PAIN
What the fuck kind of retard advice is this?
Yes, strengthening your legs is the best way to avoid them, but doing it while you still have the splints is pants on head retarded.

get better running shoes, im talking £100 plus, i remember when i first started i did an autistic amount of research into which running shoes to buy when i started with sites like this

>runrepeat.com/ranking/rankings-of-overall-running-shoes

Make sure to be using proper running form and keep in mind that if you weigh over 100kg you're probably gonna get shin splints no matter what, so if thats the case actively try to lose weight.

I go running 4x per week and havent had shin splints since i began.

that would explain why I'm getting them
96kg and haven't ran since I wasn't 96kg and my calves and shin muscles get really sore even when I jog

Jesus christ, why are so many of these shoes so fuck ugly?

Thanks for the resource though.

I looked a lot of stores and found some Nike shoes for 60 bucks, they were on discount, they oroginally costed 100.

I havent uaed then however, because their color is fucking ridiculous and their my first running shoes

OP here, holy fuck my thread is alive after one day, thanks for the good replies

I am 93 KG at the moment, I am very confident that my form is alright, but the shoes I am not sure about. I am planning to get new shoes during Christmas (tfw poor)

Running shoes are a waste of money. As long as your running with proper form you will not get injured. Case in point, I've been running regularly -5 days a week, for the last 5 years and have had no running related injuries.

Isn't shin splints just the same as a pump?

I just push through and assume it's all the blood making me more efficient.

This is why Veeky Forums is considered a joke.

Fuck off, nigger. Veeky Forums is considered a joke because of overweight fat autistic retards like yourself.

Ease up on the roids there tardo.

found the runner

listen op shin splints are probably the single most poorly understood thing about getting Veeky Forums. it comes from an imbalance in your calf and the shin muscle. the pain comes from your calf literally ripping the shin muscle off your shin so the only way to fix the problem is to build up that muscle. you can use resistance bands or just tighten and relax the muscle over and over until you feel it starting to burn. easy to do from the sitting position, like your tapping your toes to music.

all of the shit that doesn't work: anything to do with your shoes, anything to do with the surface your running on, anything to do with your running form. (all those can cause other running injuries but are not the cause of shin splints.)

"resting" for 2 weeks allows your calf muscle to degenerate so it makes the pain go away but you're not fixing the problem you're just undoing progress.

no no no

good picrelated

>he thinks I go outside

stationary bike prevents crashing and getting injuries

>found the runner
I don't run though, I lift.
I'm just interested in kinesiology.

fuck you just let me be right.

kek, I'm sorry

>"resting" for 2 weeks allows your calf muscle to degenerate

Holy fuck this is the most bullshit thing

Do you faggots do any actual running, or just that super noob "3 miles a day" type running?

If you don't run atleast 8 miles every day at sub 7min/mi pace like I do, then your advice isnt getting you anywhere.

I just ran a 10k this morning at 6:04 min/mile pace, feel great afterwards. Doing another 5k on thanksgiving day too, plan on going sub 17.

How do I get to your level sempai?

For the past few weeks I've just been running around 50ish minutes a day, not keeping track of distance or pace or anything because I'm too dumb to figure that out.

One thing that really helps keep you motivated and strive to get better is get a GPS watch.

It helps you know what effort your putting in and what the results are.

I had a coach the past 4 years of high school and I just have been following that structure.

For the most part, during the summer months you'll need a lot of mileage.
Don't do too much, but I attached a picture of our mileage charts.

We mostly did a long run on Mondays and Saturdays. Long run on Thursday but it was a Tempo run, so not just mileage. Rest days were Wednesday and Friday, so we ran no more than 6 miles at a time; Lower tier runners did anywhere from 3-6, usually it was 4-6 though.
Tuesday was a hill / longish run, just to get used to other terrains. Sunday was a rest day but depended on how good you were, low tier runners wouldn't run on that day, but if you needed mileage you'd do an easy run that day.

Also, you can similarly repeat this summer chart in the Winter, or any time really, but when you follow the start dates it helps coordinate with our important race dates.

Everytime you repeat the mileage chart, add 50~ ish miles from what you ran the season before. (I.e. if you ran 350 in Jun-Aug 2015, run 400 in Dec.2015 - February 2016, then 450 in Jun-Aug 2016, etc.

train calves and your shin muscles(tibialis anterior). the latter you can train by hanging from a bar with your toes pointing towards your knees and hands on the bar for assistance.

>There are people on this thread that run further than 800m

Enjoy being disgusting skellys

the problem is 93kg. No matter if its fat or muscles, if you intend to run a lot you need to lose weight

You need to stop giving advice. Throw your computer in the river and never look back.

I hate to discourage anyone from running, but if I were your weight I'd stick to walking and dieting until I got down to around 80 kilos at least. You really don't want to give yourself long-term injuries.

Or, perhaps go see a physio and get some real advice from not random strangers on a bhuddist monkey-sitting bulletin board.
