theres something on tv about it here in the UK right now, we got a show where "celebraties" (Z list) are competing in olympic things, they have a guy on from boy zone who has it. i don't think there is much you can apart from stretch and bare the pain short term, belows a link on some info i found tho, i didn't read it so if my above statement was BS jus ignore it.

Get on the edge of a stair and rapidly lift your toes and flex your shin. Don't even bother counting reps, just do it as fast as you can until you fatigue. I usually do this when I do calves.

Long distance running is the cause of it. Your calves are trained a ton when you do long distance running, so if they don't train the shins in return, the calf gets a lot larger than the shin muscle and causes the shin splint. I remember one day I did interval running on the track at school, I would sprint on the straight aways and jog around the corners, my shins were sore for the longest time after that.Originally posted by Oliveira689

Well, this makes a lot of sense. My calves just overmatch my shins by far. My shins take a beating whenever I do running for an extended period of time.Originally posted by KillswitchNgage

mroc888 - Yeah they suck and hurt really bad. I have them too. Make sure you keep icing them and do a lot of calf/shin strengthening exercises. Try "duck walks" to warm your shins up before you run. Duck walks are when you walk on your heels and keep your toes in the air.

I hear that you can just run it out once you get shin splints and it will eventually go away.
And she says it natural, I feel I've come of age, when she peaks I start to run
