Running

First 3k I had my on-again/off-again severe shin pain, however I know it goes by kilometre 4 so I just got on with it.

Anyone got an idea as to how to make that not happen at all?

When I had shin pain back in 04 I was advised to strengthen my toes.

Some of this involved what I'll call "heel dips" on stairs, but the most fun had was using toes to scrunch up tea towels on the kitchen floor.

Seemed to help too, although hard to prove as the solution for sure.

Best to get professional advice maybe?
