Hello, my shin splints began when I switched form from heel striking to landing more on the balls of my feet. I got a stress reaction in one leg and now everytime I try to start up with the new form my shin splints come back. Is this a problem with the new form, or just being ill prepared for it? I don’t want to remain a heel striker, because I hope to increase speed and stamina.
@@JustForFun-mq1qj usually it is a matter of not gradually building the run plan appropriately, strengthening your shin specific muscles, and running too fast (need to keep it at 4/10 RPE during base building)
how many days a week would you recommend running? im at 25 miles a week for a few months, posterior splints but I don't even feel discomfort at all when I'm running, only after running witch is good.
Really depends but (in general) if you have been running more than 5-6 months then I always recommend 4 days a week at minimum. However, that doesn’t mean running the same mileage every day either. One of those days will be a short run, 2 medium, and 1 long run 👊🏼
Good video, thank you. I heel strike and grew up playing soccer and loved running. I had to quit the police academy due to running too long on an off day and it developed stress fractures in both shins. I heel strike, hard, when i run. Is there a way to train myself to run with a better form while doing the strwtches and workouts for the muscles and tendons? Im terrified to run because of how bad it hurt and having to recover for a couple months. Thank you for the video.
How do I know when I'm ready to start doing these strengthening exercises, versus if I should still be just letting the tissue recover and not risk irritating them further?
@@elizabethhaubert4213 we base it on tissue irritability and much pain you are in during every day activities or how long pain increases after an activity.
Thanks. I'm training for the PCT and am having a reoccurrence of the shin splints I've had on and off for 40 years. I'll give these a try for a month and see if it helps.

Nice video but I think you would do well from being far more concise with your delivery
Thanks for the feedback and working on that 👊🏼
7 minute intro is not warranted
A little long winded at the beginning, but there were lots of useful tips in this video. Thx !
Thanks for the feedback and glad you found some value!

High school/college track coaches are the biggest cause of shin splints.
🥺🥺
