Over the past year or so I've been trying to improve my running - nothing too strenuous (a couple of 5K's mid-week and a longer run at the weekend) but I'm consistently struggling with shin-splints. I've tried everything I can think of: rest, ice, stretching, compression, different trainers and short of doing a Pistorious I'm completely out of ideas. If I'm honest I thinking I should just hang up the trainers for good. I've asked about it before in this thread, and thanks for the answers, but if anyone has any other ideas I'd really appreciate it?
Not against splashing out on a reputable physio or podiatrist but tried physio last year with no success so I'm a little sceptical.
