Running

Anyone here had problems with shin-splints before? I'd never had them until a few weeks ago (I upped my distances too quick). I was able to train with them until last Thursday when I had to stop after a few miles. I've iced, compressed and rested but it still aches a from time to time and is sore when touched, although there's no pain when I walk. I've got the Richmond Park duathlon this weekend and wanted to get out on a couple of light runs this week. Would you get out and run, or just rest until Sunday?

I had moderate shin splits a few years ago. I managed to train through it by spending 10mins in a dustbin of ice water after every run, for about about a month until my legs got used to the increased training volume. Have a cup of tea while you do it or you;ll freeze
