Here is a really good thread where evolutionary.org board members give tips on reducing shin splints -> https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/anabolic-steroids-peds/running-help-43115.html?highlight=shin+splints

The best suggestion I can give you is to try and run on either a track or in a field/on grass.

My cousins are on the Canadian Olympic rowing team and their training coach is adamant on running on grass specifically. He claims that running on concrete is one of the worst things you can do for your knees.

Also, make sure you are using proper foot wear. Don't cheap out when it comes to running shoes.

Another tip - try laying off the running for a few weeks and do non-invasive forms of cardio like the elliptical and rower instead. Your body might just need some time to recover.

Do you have an imbalance with your calves and tibialis? I have this issue because I have those genetically ridiculous huge calves. For me I have to directly train the tibialis and have to run at a slower pace.
