Shin Splits

[Renn Sport]

Hi chaps,

So I work further away from home so riding my bicycle to work and back is not really viable.

As I am not getting enough excersise in the week I have decided to start running at lunchtiime for 45minutes.

I actually like running but I keep getting really painful shin splints. I am running in New Balance trainers which I bought from a running shop after they had looked at the way I run.

Am I getting the Shin Splints ecause of my exceptionally poor technique or could it be something else?

Thanks guys... I am trying perhaps too hard but its very demoralising that I can run.

One thing I recognise is that my leg muscles are quite under developed. I get knee pain at time however when I used to cycle regularly the muscles really built up and I experienced no knee pain at all.

I'll try the exercises.

Haven't been cycling since November since I moved job. I have lot a fair amount of leg muscle and strength.

I don’t understand the term couch to 5km?! Does that refer to being sedentary to being active?

Thanks guys...
