Shin pain : Shin pain is not uncommon to runners, and has many factors. The following can be reasons for shin pain: improperly fitting shoes, improper stretching/warm up,poor running form, and running too far too soon. In addition, I would seek medical evaluation to make sure there are no "shin splints" or small fractures. I would also find a good running supply store to be properly fitted for running shoes.

Compartment syndrome: Some people have a tight anterior compartment and when the muscles therein contained swell from use they loose their blood supply. Excessive use of the anterior compartment muscles may be reduced in a barefoot shoe-i.e. lower heeled footwear.
