Good running shoes are really important - they only have a lifespan of 400 miles on average, which you can clock up really quickly if you run regularly. I worked out I need to change them every 6 months ish. I started getting shin pains after running in shoes I'd had for 2 years, and learned my lesson! If you're resting for 2 weeks, you're gonna have to build up the running up slowly when you get back into it, otherwise you might have the same problem of overdoing it again, especially as your legs won't be used to the same intensity of weight-bearing.
