Shin splints

I haven't been running long and my shins are already hurting. I've been running (jogging) on alternate days to allow my legs recovery time. Yesterday my shins hurt so much I spent most of my workout walking, and even then I quit early because I was in a lot of pain.

My sister was telling me about the book Chi Running, so I picked up a copy and will start reading this weekend.

Hi there! I was googling ChiRunning and shin splints - I am in the same predicament, started running about three months ago, have got to running 24 minutes at a time now but am plagued with shin splints. Usually recovery is just a few days with me doing nothing to aid recovery, but it's been more than a week now and they're still not quite better. Time for something new ... I bought the ChiRunning book! Have you had success with it? I have only read the intro so far. Drop me an email sometime! samantha.boyle@yahoo.co.uk. -Samantha
