best running shoes to prevent shin splints image
Q. I have started running not too long agao and I have shin splints (mild pain). I think I overpronate. I also have arches that are more on the flatter side.
Should I buy running shoes that have cushioned heels (ex: Nike Shox Turbo V style)??? Or should I look for other features?

Answer
Shin splints are the result of muscle imbalance. Strong calves, weak shin muscles. To prevent them, lie face down in bed with your toes hanging over the edge. Slowly pull your toes upward against the resistance of the mattress. Hold for 1 or 2 seconds, then repeat. Try to work up to 2 or 3 sets of 10.
Now that you already have the injury, it's best to rest and ice them to relieve the pain. Flat feet don't necessarily require lots of cushioning such as high-arched feet do, but it's more about how you run and what shoe you feel best running in. Continue to do research on running sites and do some experimenting. A good runners' store is your best resource.
Good Luck

What happens if you run with shin splints?
-up in the
this is my first track season in high school, and i'm actually pretty decent. i've been getting really bad pains in my shins, and one day it was so bad, i couldn't even practice. but now it's not so bad, and its just in my left shin now. Everyone on the team says its shin splint, and it the way i land on my feet when i run. i know how to prevent shin splints now, but how can i get over them? and can i run with shin splints? and how do i know if i have a stress fracture?
Answer
If you had a stress fracture you couldn't run. Period. Shin splints are one of the many downsides to running. I've had them so many times but I've always just ran through mine. Try and by shoes with little or no support example track spikes, vibram five fingers, or just go bare foot. This makes you land on your toes which makes you faster and has much less impact. It is the healtiest way to run. Also to help fix them stretch them and drink milk or eat anything with calcium. If it gets really bad then take a few days off. It's not worth hurting yourself. I'm just too stupid to stop. Hope this helps.
