How do you deal with shin splints when running? (lemm.ee)

I noticed it's considerably worse when I run outside on the street/sidewalk as opposed to on a treadmill. I usually run first thing in the morning so I've taken a few minutes to stretch my legs thinking that may be the cause but it hasn't really helped. The only other thing I can think of is that I have flat feet.

Anyone else deal with this and have an idea on how to overcome it?

Sounds like you got them bad.

In that case, keep up your habit of guiding out but just walk instead of run until the shin splints heal.

You probably pushed yourself too hard too fast
