Balls. Did a few longer runs in the week and Friday a long-ish one in the morning. Felt fine and went through the day but towards evening a pain in my front lower shin had developed. This has grown after a short slow jog on Saturday and small walking. I can actually hear the tendon creaking when I move my foot up and down so pretty sure it's shin splints.
Real bummer but what now? I'll have to do a bit of walking to get to the office and was thinking I'd go for a swim to see if that helps. I can see plenty of stretches and rehab exercises for once the initial pain subsides but not sure how much of that I can do now. Are there any gentle movements that will help?
