How do you avoid shin splints when running outdoors?
The Best Answer from Uncrate:
Before you run, lean with you shoulder blades against a wall and you feet slightly apart, 8 in. to 1 foot away from the wall. Lift yourself up on your heels, curling your toes up towards the ceiling for a set of 8-10. Then stand with just the balls of your feet on a step, lowering your heels just below the height of the step, and lifting yourself up onto your toes for a set of 8-10. Start off slow, and build up to 3 sets of 15-20 before each run. I have been following this regiment and running pain free for about 2 years now.
