How can i reduce my chance of getting shin splints when running?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch well before.: running. Especially the Achilles' tendon. Be careful of the surface you run on. The harder the surface, the more likely. Wear proper running shoes with good arch support and shock absorption. Ice shins after running.
