Airhead-
I've a bunch of different trainers all around 6- 9 mm drop. I've never used orthotics.
I've been running for a few years now and haven't had this pain before. This happened a few weeks after the marathon. Did a threshold session Tues (probably too early in fairness) and then the shin went on the next days recovery run.

Four weeks off now after getting shin splints on one leg. Went for a run Christmas Day as i hadnt had any pain in a few days. Only last a km and it started kicking in.
Actually not even sure if they are shin splints as I've no pain to touch. I can poke and prod and nothing. It's only when I put pressure on when running (and walking when it initially happened - especially downstairs).
Need to get to a physio when they're back. Anyone any advice in the meantime?
